Russian gold medalists kiss on medal stand at world championships to protest anti-gay laws — Page 4

Putin critics say the law is one of a string of repressive measuresintroduced by the former KGB spy in the first year of his third presidential term to clamp down on dissent.

The president denies cracking down on opponents, and has said Russia needs order and discipline. But the criticism has overshadowed preparations for the Sochi Olympics - a top priority for Putin who wants it to show Russia as a modern state with top-notch infrastructure.

Modern state?!!? It's the most @ss-backwards country on the planet!

i hope not either but I doubt they will. Russian and eastern European women kiss on the lips all the time. If you remember the Olympics last time there was a lot of that between teammates and even other teams. Yeas ago anna kournikova and martina hingis when they played doubles together kissed on the lips a lot. Ifiyou u watch women's tennis which is dominated by Russian womenas well as czechs, poles and serbs you have seen opponents kissi g before and after matches . Its quite common. I kiss my fellow eastern European gf as well. But my American gf are not comfortable with it.
