In an appeal to Sberbank head German Gref, the lower-house State Duma’s Family, Women and Children Committee said that it had received messages from parents who were “outraged” by the cards.
“We ask you, dear German Oskarovich, to take into account the opinion of parents and deputies of our committee on preventing violations of Russian legislation and to halt the issuance of the Children’s SberCard with the ‘rainbow unicorn’ — a symbol of the LGBT movement,” the state-run TASS news agency cited the committee’s letter as saying.
Sberbank issues cards for children aged 6 to 13 with seven different designs, including the rainbow unicorn.
Russia’s Supreme Court designated the “international LGBT movement,” which does not formally exist, as a banned “extremist” organization in November 2023.
Imagine being afraid of colors or a mythological animal.

9I don’t remember hearing about unicorns. Rainbows have meant so many things over the years that I get dizzy thinking about it. :)
