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.
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.

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

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.
