Putin decriminalizes domestic abuse? Russian paper tells women to embrace their bruises?

Russian newspaper tells women beaten by their husbands to ‘be proud of their bruises’ after Putin decriminalises domestic abuse.

A Russian newspaper has claimed victims of domestic abuse should be 'proud of their bruises'.

A column in Komsomolskaya Pravda, one of the country's most popular papers, has said that women should 'find solace' in the fact that women who suffer domestic violence are more likely to give birth to boys.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on Tuesday which decriminalises domestic violence, sparking allegations his government is 'trivialising' the problem.

I placed question marks after the thread title because I am having some doubts about the legitimacy of this story.

Did Putin really decriminalize "domestic abuse" or what is essentially men beating women?

And did a Russian paper really promote it as a good thing?

I cant help but to feel that there is some element of "fake news" here.

Possibly a smear campaign against Trump's new pal?

Very bizarre and sad if true.

Sure you did. But placed a big pic of Putin pointing a machine gun...

Those who support new legislation, including members of Putin's United Russia party, say they want to protect parents' right to discipline their children and to reduce the state's ability to meddle in family life. They say anyone who inflicts serious physical harm will still be criminally liable.

After reading all the drool this was the only bit of credibility in that article.

I didn't even notice the weapon until you said something. Maybe Trump can open a deal for Russia to import these.

Russian Women are pretty tough.

the men should really be more worried

I don't believe this article is valid. I haven't found a Russian source for this at all. And if you've noticed, all the articles about this are 'all' coming from Countries who don't like Putin.

Maybe someone can talk about Trumps plan to rape women and show him point guns around too?

Ouch. Daily Fail is a popular tabloid among Trump&Putins followers.
Cant wait to read mental gymnastics in this one

Only when the men learn to be proud of not having a penis after she cuts it off in his sleep. Or that large dent in the side of his head from a bat.

The Moscow Times also reported on it.

But make your husbands even prouder of theirs!

Yeah WHAT does Putin holding a machine pistol have to do with domestic violence ?

One thing is not like the other.

Are Russian women getting their vagina costumes ready for the protest?
March on red square!

The protest petition was denied by the Kremlin.

Yes, it's true. You'll need Google Translate, and even then it's pretty choppy.
