    Curious whether it will be as politically successful there. The nations often move in rough parallel politically. But I would not have though this brand of ostracizing an out group to distract from core governance issues would work as well there.

    One interesting point on these culture wars and return to “tradition”. Reading this book now on Russia’s Catherine the Great.

    Chapter 10, which takes place after she is betrothed but before her husband or later she take power is titled

    • A pilgrimage to Kiev and transvestite balls

    Kiev is described as the “oldest Russian city”. And every Tuesday, by decree of then Empress Elizabeth, all the court would cross dress for the ball. Interesting.

    Obviously a time travel trick by 2022 woke liberals, who created this indecency to erase previously rigidly defined gender norms.
