Reinforced concrete shelters will be installed across the Kursk region, local Russian authorities announced Thursday as Ukraine keeps up its daring attack on Moscow’s territory.

“Today we began to install reinforced concrete shelters in Kursk. On my instructions, the Kursk city administration identified key points for placing concrete modular shelters in crowded places,” Aleksey Smirnov, Kursk’s acting governor, said in a statement.

Ukraine’s surprise cross-border incursion earlier this month caught the Russians on the hop, and Kyiv’s forces have expanded their offensive, capturing more towns and territory with little resistance.

    nonexistent gay rights movement in Russia and many other communist countries

    Russia hasn’t been communist for almost 35 years.

    gay civil rights group

    There’s gay rights groups in communist countries too. They tend to take different forms though, due to different cultures and circumstances; you don’t have to form protection groups if you’re not in danger of getting hate-crime’d.

    In China for instance, they’re more focused on gaining familial acceptance than government persecution. In Cuba, they had a referendum to enshrine LGBT+ rights in the constitution.
