I wonder whats Stalin's take on how to deal with people with "conservative values"
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
look man, i agree with you and all but did stalin not criminalize homophobia in the ussr? a better pick for a quote like that would be Lenin who created the most LGBT friendly nation in the world after the revolution
It's good to contextualize this stuff as much as possible, but I would say that the idea that Stalin was universally opposed to "conservative values" as we understand them today is, to describe it in outdated Twitter slang, "not it chief"
From what I remember, the loosening of laws about homosexuality were part of a broad repeal of Tsarist laws in general. It was something of an accident or oversight that homosexuality was legalized. But it should be mentioned a there were Bolsheviks into free love, and I think Kollontai wrote something endorsing gay people in the party?
And the one implemented under Stalin was more of an anti-pedophilia law, but in a time where gay people were assumed to also be pedophiles. And yeah that's unfortunate and the world has been unkind to queer people.
I do remember someone here mentioning that the anti-pedastry law was only ever used one time against an otherwise typical gay person and it was after Stalin was dead. I never looked into it though.
gotcha, thanks for the info
