Politician supports call to make Khabib Minister of Culture in Dagestan to limit ‘gayness’ in Russia

A Russian politician has come out in support of a rapper Vasily Vakulenko’s call to make Khabib Nurmagomedov Minister of Culture in Dagestan due to the fighter’s conservative views.

State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov revealed that he would vote for Nurmagomedov to have a key role in Dagestan’s ministry of culture because the former UFC champion would make sure to limit “gayness” on television.

“I don’t know what kind of Minister of Culture of Dagestan Khabib can turn out to be, but for example, he can be included in the Ministry of Culture’s commissioned experts so that he does not allow any kind of gayness on the screens,” Milonov said.
