After the Communists took over in 1917, they promoted “free love”- divorce and abortion on demand, the decriminalization of homosexuality and even serious discussion about whether or not marriage should be abolished. In the late 20s, they reversed course and by WWII the official culture of the Soviet Union was quite puritanical, more so than the US. Even the 1980s, the Commies were tough on gays, lesbians and junkies. In a strange way, the Communists retained the manners, morals and attitudes of the pre-WWII West that the West itself discarded in the name of freedom and equality.
A small but very wealthy, powerful and vindictive tribe that originated in the eastern Mediterranean is responsible for whipping up anti-Russian sentiment in politics and its handmaiden the mainstream media.
