State Duma Deputy Oleg Matveychev drafted a bill recognizing feminism as an extremist ideology

Deputy head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Oleg Matveychev told the publication “Paragraph”that he prepared a bill recognizing feminism as an extremist ideology. According to the deputy, feminists massively oppose the military operation in Ukraine and spread fakes about the Russian army on social networks.

“Feminists in the West are all against Putin, against Russia and for the war. Feminists in Ukraine have generally declared that real feminism consists in women serving together with men, fighting against the Russians,” said Mr. Matveychev.

Now the bill is being evaluated by the State Duma commission on foreign interference, the parliamentarian added. In case of a positive conclusion, it will be submitted to the lower house of parliament for consideration.

“Our feminists are just agents of the West. They are engaged in the destruction of traditional values, their activities are contrary to the presidential decree on the support of traditional values. They are for divorce, for childlessness, for abortion. They are acting against the demographic policy of the Russian Federation,” said Mr. Matveychev.

The parliamentarian also believes that in Russia feminism can become a breeding ground “for extremist actions.” According to him, this reflects the example of Daria Trepova, who is accused in the case of terrorist attackas a result of which military commander Vladlen Tatarsky died.
