Vitaly Milonov called the homosexual revelation of actor Gerard Depardieu repentance. A Deputy of the State Council of St. Petersburg told the Russian News Service that the French actor, who admitted to ties with men, specifically moved to Russia to say goodbye to his vicious past forever.

“I think that the spiritual wind of Mordovia will heal in him this defect. He came from France, a dissolved country. But now, breathing the harsh spiritual wind of Mordovia, he purifies himself, he wants to kill this wickedness within himself. He publicly pulled out this devil and slaughtered him in the circle of Russian morality,” the parliamentarian said.
