Masha Gessen: "In March, the St Petersburg legislator who had become a spokesman for the law started mentioning me and my 'perverted family' in his interviews. I contacted an adoption lawyer asking whether I had reason to worry that social services would go after my family and attempt to remove my oldest son, whom I adopted in 2000. The lawyer wrote back telling me to instruct my son to run if he is approached by strangers and concluding: 'The answer to your question is at the airport.'"
