From The Times:
Not content with outlawing the fictitious “international LGBT social movement” and clamping down on teenagers who like to dress up as furry animals, Russian MPs have now set their sights on another formidable foe — Satan himself.
“Satanism and everything connected with it must be considered as a direct threat to Russian statehood!” Andrei Kartapolov, a senior MP who heads the Russian parliament’s defence committee, said at a meeting in Moscow. He also alleged that satanists in Russia were funded by the West. “We need to look at what money and what means these satanists live on. Where are their books and posters printed, who pays for their concerts, shows, performances, the renting of halls, bars, and clubs?” Kartapolov said. “This is nothing more than a form of warfare waged by the united West against our country.”
