In Russia, rape is a crime that carries a penalty of three to six years in most cases, but it is difficult to pursue and get a conviction. According to statistics from the Crisis Center for Women in St. Petersburg, up to 70% of women who have been raped go to the police, but only 10% of the accusations result in charges. As a result, it is estimated that only 1% of men who commit these acts receive criminal punishment.

      If violence towards women is your metric, this is hardly a problem exclusive to them (to be clear this isn’t to excuse Russia, it’s to point out that a violent rape culture exist everywhere there is patriarchy, and it is said patriarchy that needs to be addressed, not an individual country).

      Why people think Ukrainians and the rest don’t have anything to do with them. Tells a lot about republicans the fact they are increasingly showing support for the Russians.
