Russian police raided several bars and nightclubs across Moscow on over the weekend as part of the government's crackdown on "LGBTQ+ propaganda."
Smartphones, laptops and video cameras were seized, while clubgoers had their documents inspected by officers.
The raids come exactly a year since Russia's Supreme Court ruled that the "LGBTQ+ movement" should be banned as an "extremist organization."
Other recent laws have also served to put pressure on those that the Russian government believes aren't in line with the country's "traditional values."
On Nov. 23, Putin signed into law a bill banning the adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender-affirming care is legal.
