Vladimir Putin slams 'monstrous' West for teaching children they can change their gender, saying it is 'close to a crime against humanity'

[TASS] Russian President Vladimir Putin considers it monstrous that in the West children are taught that a boy can become a girl and vice versa. The Russian leader said this during the Valdai Forum in Sochi.
He ain't wrong.
Putin is surprised that moving away from concepts such as "mom" and "dad" of different genders is perceived in the West as progress.

"As a matter of fact, children are taught the choice that everyone has. Forcing the child to make a decision that could ruin his life. And they do not even consult with child psychologists, whether the child is able to make such decisions or not. These are just crimes against humanity. And everything is under the banner of progress," the Russian leader said.

On October 18-21, 2021, Sochi is hosting the XVIII Annual Meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club. Putin has traditionally met with forum participants since its inception in 2004.

Putin's main statements at Valdai are broadcast by Gazeta.Ru.

Putin said about the harm of revolutions

[VK] Revolutions are caused by the crisis, but they are not able to solve it. This was announced on October 21 by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club, a REGNUM correspondent reports.

According to the Russian leader, the revolution only exacerbates the problems in the country. To prove his words, he cited the events that took place in the Russian Empire in 1917 and in the USSR in 1991.

“To break is not to build. And we in Russia are well aware of this - more than 100 years ago, Russia objectively experienced serious problems, but no more than other countries, and maybe on a smaller scale, and could gradually solve them. But the revolutionary upheavals led to the breakdown, the disintegration of the great country.

History repeated itself 30 years ago, when a potentially powerful power did not embark on the path of flexible, but thoughtful transformations in time and as a result fell victim to dogmatists of various kinds and reactionaries and so-called progressives - everyone tried, on both sides.

A revolution is not a way out of a crisis, but an aggravation of the crisis, ”Putin said.

1917 and 1981 in Russia - and now repeating the pattern yet again, in our Woke USSA.

#3  Putin has faced fierce criticism for banning 'gay propaganda' in Russia

The ban on gay propaganda is hard coded Russian law, not solely Putin's doing.

If he actually lived here, watched American television and media reporting, or had experienced our educational system, I doubt he'd be very "surprised."
