The author questions why Kevin Spacey participates in public functions in Russia without speaking out against the country's recent adoption of homophobic and fascist laws. The author warns that Spacey's visit may be used as validation of the government's policies and actions, and urges him to either speak out against the injustices or stay away from the country. The author also highlights the lack of independent media in Russia and the imprisonment of two young women for performing an anti-government song in an empty cathedral.
