The politician from Russia who introduced the country’s anti-gay "propaganda" law has said she wants to decriminalize domestic violence. Yelena Mizulina, a member of the Russian parliament’s upper house, introduced the 2013 law which bans the “promotion of non-traditional sexual relations” to minors. Mizulina has introduced legislation which would decriminalize domestic violence, which is currently punishable with fines of up to $600 or two years in jail. The amendments would reduce punishments for spousal or child abuse to misdemeanor or administrative offences.
