But is this the attitude of the general Russian public or just a few of those in the government?

Your man peter thathall got a rough do.. He got the head thumped off him by some skinhead then the cops arrested HIM.

Who will they turn their attention to next .. jews? Its not a safe place for blacks as it is this is all too familar surely there should be more concern at international governmental level about this maybe sanctions or when you have oil and gas can you do what you like?

Russia is a very damaged country.
They went through the wringer with Stalin . Anna Akhmatova was one of the poets who defined the time.

Am Not One of Those Who Left the Land
I am not one of those who left the land
to the mercy of its enemies.
Their flattery leaves me cold,
my songs are not for them to praise.
But I pity the exile's lot.
Like a felon, like a man half-dead,
dark is your path, wanderer;
wormwood infects your foreign bread.
But here, in the murk of conflagration,
where scarcely a friend is left to know,
we, the survivors, do not flinch
from anything, not from a single blow.
Surely the reckoning will be made
after the passing of this cloud.
We are the people without tears,
straighter than you...more proud...

Millions of people drank themselves to death during the switch from communism to capitalism.
It's not surprising they are persecuting gay people. Bit of order on chaos, that is how it's sold. Doesn't happen here. The other typical options would have been to persecute women, political activists  or religious minorities.
