Putin Airlines Safety Video: A Satirical Look At Russia's Anti-Gay Laws


If you're wondering why you've never heard of Putin Airlines, that's because it doesn't exist.
But that didn't stop the Gay Women Channel from making a satirical in-flight safety video highlighting Russia's newest batch of anti-gay laws. The group is behind the popular "Gay Women Will Marry Your Boyfriends" and created the video to help support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights and equality.
The video starts off innocently enough welcoming Sochi-bound passengers onboard the aircraft and kindly asks everyone to buckle up and to keep trays in the up-right position. The video then asks passengers with small children to "not spread homosexual propaganda or let them know that gays and lesbians exist." Failure to comply will result in passengers to "be cuffed."
There are more requests involving passengers to not hold hands with someone of the same sex, pride rainbow flags and even a joke about taking the back-door exit. While the video's tongue-in-cheek humour may make you laugh, its goal is to spread awareness to Russia's anti-gay laws which went into effect last June.
Earlier this month, Skift News discovered that the new laws contained a provision that now applies to foreign tourists visiting Russia. The provision allows the Russian government to detain gay or pro-gay foreigners for up to two weeks before deporting them from the country. Actions that could get travellers in trouble include "gay-affirmative" speech, displaying a rainbow flag and same-sex partners holding hands, notes Travel and Escape.
On Monday, four Dutch tourists became the first travellers to be arrested under Russia's "gay propaganda law" after they were accused of spreading information about homosexuals to children. Reports suggest the four tourists were in the city of Murmansk to make a documentary about the city's gay community there when they were detained and jailed by police under the new law.
The country's latest laws have drawn international condemnation and scrutiny as Russia gears up to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.

Russia's American PR blitz - Rachel Marsden

Russia's American PR blitz - Rachel Marsden

1 Share
Russian President Vladimir Putin cares a lot about what you think -- about NSA contractor-turned-defector and Russian asylum seeker Edward Snowden, and pretty much everything else -- to the point of spending $300 million of state funds last year on the external audiovisual service RT, designed primarily to spoonfeed the Kremlin worldview to a global audience. And unearthed records show that's just the tip of a much more insidious iceberg.
Why, you might ask, would an iron-fisted authoritarian care about what the masses outside of his own country think? Well, if Russia can convince you, as a Westerner, to focus on critiquing your own government, you'll be less inclined to criticize the geopolitical competition. The greatest strengths of a democracy -- free speech and opposition to power -- are also weaknesses ripe for subversion and exploitation by a competitor who seeks to divide and conquer as a means of gaining a competitive advantage. And yet attempts at free speech and opposition to power in Russia put citizens at risk of being either imprisoned or liquidated.
And the double standards don't end there. Putin is cracking down on non-governmental organizations, raiding the offices of those who receive foreign funding, treating them as if their sole purpose is to act as a subversive foreign agent to undermine his authority. Meanwhile, he's infiltrating American media and political institutions.
Putin uses his propaganda apparatus to endlessly chastise Western nations for meddling in Syria, Cyprus and other nations over which Russia formerly enjoyed unfettered influence. The narrative is always the same: The United States and its allies won't keep their hands to themselves, while Russia minds its own business.
Except that it doesn't.
There are three types of intelligence operations: overt, covert and clandestine. "Overt" is blowing up a bridge outright. "Covert" is blowing up a bridge and obfuscating responsibility. "Clandestine" is when the bridge conveniently falls down in what appears to be an accident. Former KGB chief Putin tends to favor the latter two.
Here's a Russian operation that falls into the "covert" category:
Records show that from 2008 to 2010, Putin spent considerable cash -- approximately $6.8 million in fees to two American firms alone -- in an attempt to infiltrate America's media and political agenda. That doesn't include the various state-controlled Russian multinationals or entities who have also done the Kremlin's bidding. The Sunlight Foundation's Foreign Lobbying Influence Tracker shows that the Kremlin has gone to great lengths in hiring three American lobbying and public relations firms in an attempt to pitch favorable op-eds to American media outlets such as <a href="http://CNBC.com" rel="nofollow">CNBC.com</a>, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. Records show that in one instance, a lobbyist was tasked with calling a reporter "regarding the registrant's representation of Russia." Records also show that one of the firms corresponded extensively with former CNN host Larry King on behalf of the Kremlin in an effort to arrange a sit-down interview with Putin.
In some instances, according to lobbyist records, producers of CNN's "Future Cities" program have had "multiple correspondences" with the public relations firm being paid princely sums to spin their client country's reputation.
The Kremlin has a communications director for such things, Dmitry Peskov. And Larry King now hosts a television show on the Kremlin's RT.
As much as Putin claims to hate foreign NGOs, he seems to be all over groups in Washington, with Russian front-firm representatives interacting with the Brookings Institution, the RAND Corporation, the German Marshall Fund, the Center for European Policy Analysis and the Heritage Foundation, and attending Cato Institute events.
The PR and lobbying firms were also hired to front for the Kremlin's interests in monitoring and interacting with the political apparatus in Washington, D.C. Records show that they were keeping close tabs on former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, including monitoring her testimony before the House Appropriations Foreign Operations Committee. Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee were also targeted and solicited regarding the Russian-Georgian conflict.
There's nothing wrong with a little diplomacy, of course -- except that Russia already has ambassadors and entire embassies full of diplomats for that. It wouldn't be unreasonable to conclude that an American firm fronting for the Russians would have an easier time dealing directly with fellow countrymen within the Washington Beltway crowd, as opposed to someone from a foreign country who lacks connections and whose agenda is much more obvious.
But if the Kremlin is going to play that game, it should stop crying "American foreign influence!" when it has front groups inside America doing its bidding.
This is yet another reminder to the American public of the unfortunate need to assess everything they see or hear through a critical lens.

4 Dutch Citizens Suspected of Gay Propaganda Crime in Russia

RIA Novosti
Four Dutch citizens detained by police during a gay rights seminar outside the northern Russian city of Murmansk appeared in a local court Monday for allegedly promoting homosexual relationships among minors, human rights activists and local media reports said.
Investigators and migration officials reportedly detained the four, who were making a film about gay rights in Russia, on Sunday afternoon at a campsite during an event for young rights activists. The four were then questioned for about eight hours, said Tatyana Kulbakina, a representative of human rights monitoring organization OGON.
Those detained included Kris van der Veen, a gay rights activist and a Dutch city councilman.
"Instead of sitting on the plane, we're still in Murmansk," Van der Veen wrote on Facebook on Monday afternoon. "It's about the documentary, homosexual propaganda. It's going alright, but it's not clear what to do next. There has been lots of support and help from activists and the consulate."
There was no official statement from police or investigators about the case.
The detentions are one of the first instances of the enforcement of controversial Russian legislation banning the promotion of "non-traditional relationships" toward minors. Individuals in violation of the law, which was signed by President Vladimir Putin earlier this month, can be fined up to 100,000 rubles ($3,000).
After several delays to the start of court proceedings, the hearings for the four Dutch citizens were canceled Monday, and the judge returned the case materials for further investigation, according to Kulbakina, who was present at court. "It looks like it won't go to court," she said.
The four Dutch citizens are free to leave the country, Kulbakina added, but the material they recorded in Russia for their film was confiscated by police, and they may try to get it back.
"Leaving by car after a bizarre day in court. I believe there is no case," Van der Veer tweeted late Monday.
The reason for the police raid on the event outside Murmansk on Sunday was not immediately clear, but the Russian LGBT Network, an NGO monitoring gay rights, and media reports suggested that the Dutch filmmakers had interviewed a minor about gay issues.
The four Dutch citizens were also each fined 3,000 rubles ($100) by migration officials for violating the terms of their visas, Kulbakina said.
