I am not really disappointed, it's just how things are. You can't apply your culture to foreign one and expect same results as you had. West can bash Russia all they want, but truth is with more bashing of culture and way of thinking, conservatives become even more defensive. It's especially seen in Russia as hypocrisy attack, because close US allies in muslim countries like Saudi Arabia or Qatar would stone gays to death or hang them. In Russia if you are gay you can live in peace, work and even marry. You can't express your sexuality in public and you can't parade, as well as adopt children, yet I think gays in Russia are much better off than gays in Muslim countries. But only Russia gets bashed about gay oppression issue.

So majority see this as pinnacle of hypocrisy and decides they have a moral high ground.

Because Russia (in their minds at least) is a white country. That's basically the core reasoning. SJWs despise the West and white people enough that they will excuse cultures which completely take a shit on their supposed values. Islam is the perfect example. Rap (black music) music is another one (bitches and hoes).

This basically goes into cultural Marxism. Blacks and Muslims in the leftist view are useful idiots and revolutionary agents. Their utility as such is more appealing than bashing them for being not progressive enough.

There's a reason these leftists make videos talking about how whites need to sit back and let themselves be exterminated.
