I am a native Russian  —  I was born there, spent a lot of my childhood there, began my schooling there.  I speak the language.   I know the culture.  And right now, I am at a loss, somewhere between disgusted, mortified, and devastated.  I no longer have a sense of where the country is going, what sort of vision it has for itself, or where it will end up.  Perhaps it is just the obscenity that is Putin’s near-totalitarian government.  Perhaps it is the, yes, often xenophobic, racist, and hetero-normative turn of my countrymen and women.  Perhaps it is some of both.  But, given the horrors in France and elsewhere, this story was buried  —  and it should not be.  There is much that has been said about Russia’s economic and political failure  — indeed, I think that it is fairly safe to call it a failed state.  But more needs to be said about its social and moral implosion.  Much more.  Because I want to begin this conversation via this story, I am posting it here so that it sees the light of day.  Because right now I am too profoundly frightened  and despairing for my place of birth to offer any deeper analyses, I will simply leave you with the story itself.  And, of course, I look forward to any responses and insights from the readers.
