Russia's parliament voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence in cases where it does not cause "substantial bodily harm" and does not occur more than once a year.
The move, which eliminates criminal liability in such cases, makes a violation punishable by a fine of roughly $500, or a 15-day arrest, provided there is no repeat within 12 months.
The bill now goes to the rubber-stamp upper chamber, where no opposition is expected. It then must be signed by President Vladimir Putin, who has signaled his support.

According to Russian government statistics from the Interior Ministry, 40% of all violent crimes are committed within the family. The figures correlate to 36,000 women being beaten by their partners every day and 26,000 children being assaulted by their parents every year.

As you've no doubt noticed, we guys tend to take longer to mature than ladies - so our emotional age tends to lag already as it is (yours truly, for example).
Now, if you have someone who reached adulthood as an emotional toddler, and then had his every whim catered to for decades and decades, that person will probably be a real brat no matter how old or important they are - and the more important they are, the worse it probably gets (especially as old age begins to set in).
Hence, Trump!

In November, prosecutors began investigating a police officer who took a call from a woman complaining about her boyfriend’s aggressive behavior. Instead of offering help, the officer reportedly told the woman that the police would only come if she got killed. Shortly afterward the man beat the woman to death.
Oh I see that the RW politicians claim it's for family values. And that criminalizing domestic violence is anti-family somehow.
Would it be different if feminists beat their husbands?
