I was thinking their external affairs. I don't think most westerners give a fuck what Russia is doing internally. But sure, whatever makes you feel better.

I certainly didn't because they're obscure side stories that nobody reads.

Honestly, I doubt anyone I know has ever heard of these Russian laws.

People are definitely unhappy with human rights type issues in e.g. Iran and Russia, such as treatment of women or LGB people inside the country.
