Feminists who dislike Vladimir Putin, support the right to divorce, and choose not to have children are a threat to all of Russia, according to a Putin ally who’s pushing to recognize all feminists as “extremists.”
Oleg Matveychev, a member of Putin’s United Russia party who recently hailed the Russian president for—as he put it—turning the country into an “apex of goodness,” has drafted legislation that would recognize the fight for women’s rights as an “extremist ideology.”
In an interview with Abzats published Tuesday, the State Duma lawmaker described feminists as an enemy of the Kremlin second only to Ukrainians.
