A group of Russian Cossacks is prepared to protect their city from homosexual activity during the World Cup. Russia, who we’ve already noted is doing little to increase security for the tournament, will hopefully do something to keep these extremists at bay.

The Cossacks don’t expect interference from their plans. If they see gay fans kissing, they will stop it any way necessary. Oleg Barannikov, a co-coordinator of the paramilitary group claims police will be asked to intervene before Cossacks do. It doesn’t really sound that way to us!
