On November 23, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning the adoption of Russian children by citizens from countries where gender transitioning is legal. This includes at least 15 European nations, along with Australia, Argentina, and Canada, while the U.S. had already been banned since 2012. The new law is part of broader legislation aimed at upholding traditional values and curbing what the government sees as Western influence. Putin also approved a bill that bans propaganda promoting a child-free lifestyle, imposing fines up to 5 million rubles. The government argues that such messages weaken Russia by encouraging population decline. In recent years, Russia has passed numerous laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights, including banning gender-transition medical procedures and expanding restrictions on LGBTQ+ content. The government has increasingly framed its policies as a defense against what it calls "satanic" Western liberalism, while intensifying pressure on independent media and opposition figures.
