In a recent televised speech to the Russian people, Vladimir Putin ranted about cancel culture and compared Russia’s treatment by the West as akin to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s ‘cancellation’ for constantly making transphobic statements. Putin went even further and claimed that the world is trying to ‘cancel’ the entire country of Russia, equating the sentiment to Nazi book burnings. Yikes.

"Russian leader Vladimir Putin made an unlikely reference to J.K. Rowling in his latest speech.

During a televised address Friday on state TV, Putin cited the Harry Potter creator, who has come under fire for statements she has made relating to transgender issues, as proof the West likes to “cancel” people, adding that this was something Russia was now facing. Putin said that Rowling was canceled because she “didn’t satisfy the demands of gender rights.”

He added: “They are now trying to cancel our country. I’m talking about the progressive discrimination of everything to do with Russia,” and likened “cancel culture” to Nazis trying to burn books in the 1930s.

“We remember the footage when they were burning books,” he said. “It is impossible to imagine such a thing in our country and we are insured against this thanks to our culture. And it’s inseparable for us from our motherland, from Russia, where there is no place for ethnic intolerance, where for centuries representatives from dozens of ethnic groups have been living together.”"
