Lev Shlosberg: “The Motherland won a victory over its disabled children”

“It was exactly six years ago: on December 25, 2012, at the “damn” (13th) session, the Pskov Regional Assembly expressed its attitude to the draft federal law, which received the lifelong name “the law of scoundrels” - the law prohibited the adoption of Russian orphans, in including patients, citizens of states that adopted or supported the Magnitsky Act (a law introducing personal sanctions against persons responsible for violating human rights and the rule of law in Russia),” writes a deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies on Facebook .

“The Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies became the only regional parliament in Russia among those who considered a project in which support for the “law of King Herod” failed the first time. But they “broke through” the second time, Andrei Turchak gathered the United Russia faction in a small hall of the regional Assembly behind closed doors, and other people came out.

The “law of scoundrels” broke the fates of thousands of children, several hundred of them were already on the threshold of their new home, knew their new parents, but were unable to enter new families. “They will stay at home. That’s it,” Ekaterina Lakhova, a Russian woman and mother, barked then.

Remained. Some have already died. My homeland didn't let me go. The majority live in boarding homes, which completely destroy the quality of life and reduce life expectancy significantly.

The Motherland did not disdain and put sick children in front of the holdouts and thieves. The Motherland won a victory over its disabled children and felt strong and powerful. The motherland liked it. The “mad printer” began with this law. After that there were “spring” and “lake” ones, and Crimea, and the war with the whole world. But they started with a ban on the adoption of sick orphans.

In just six years, the country has slipped into the political Middle Ages, when there is no bottom, and hell (not heaven!) awaits everyone who then agreed and greeted: “They will stay at home. Everyone.”

That's it."
