LOL at the idea Herod's law was enacted for a legitimate purpose
TD Thread about it
TL/DR: below is a post from another site discussing the Putin adoption ban being passed on the feast of the Holy Innocents, which commemorates the massacre of the infant boys. The law is referred to as Herod's law.
View the most recent Russian "controversy" through this lens and also zoom out on the Russian situation overall....

This discussion is related to the adoption ban which Putin signed law in December, 2012, called the Dima Yakovlev Law (named after a Russian orphan who died after being left in locked care for several hours by his adopted father in Herndon, Virginia) which was Russia's response to numerous deaths of adopted Russian orphans in America and an effort to impose tighter controls on adoptions. The ban also imposed restrictions on NGO's operating in Russia.
One tragic case was the death of a nine-year old Russian boy, Anton Fomin, who died in a fire in Nebraska in May, 2012, the circumstances of which are under investigation because the boy who was locked in the basement of the house and was all alone when he died.
A Yahoo report said the incident triggered growing concerns in the Russian govt about the fate of Russian adopted children in the U.S.:
According to Russian officials, at least 17 adopted Russian children have died due to domestic violence at the hand of their adoptive American families in recent years. The country has long demanded that the U.S. tighten controls to prevent the neglect and abuse of Russian adopted kids.
Three adoption agencies were banned at the time, one of those being the European Adoption Consultants agency, whose headquarters in Stongsville, OH, was the subject of an FBI raid and investigative probe for human trafficking violations and for selling children to international pedophile rings.
The EAC is currently being sued by the Ohio Attorney General, Mike DeWine.
The 2013 Russian ban on adoptions in America was followed by a storm of criticism in Russia, including protests on the street against "Herod's Law" , so called because President Putin signed the measure into law on Dec. 28, the feast of the Holy Innocents, which commemorates the massacre of the infant boys in Bethlehem by King Herod in his desire to eradicate the new-born Messiah.
The editor of the Echo from Moscow, Russian radio station, the famous reactionary Alexe Venediktov said on air:
This law is morally and ethically abominable. It is cannibalistic because it condemns a certain number of children—even if it is a small one—to death.”
Mr Venediktov’s comment reflected not only the attitude of the opposition but also that of a large part of the Russian elite. Even some of Mr Putin’s own ministers objected to the law.
Certainly a strange choice of words, if nothing else. That a law seeking to increase governmental oversight over the foreign adoption of Russian orphans is characterized as "cannibalistic" is puzzling and bizarre, to say the least, esp. since President Putin also included an executive order with the ban to improve domestic adoption programs, measures which were apparently long overdue:
On the day he endorsed the adoption ban, Putin signed an executive order aimed at improving support for domestic adoptions and foster care arrangements, simplifying adoption procedures, and changing attitudes in Russia about adoption. The order also calls for introducing tax breaks for Russians who adopt orphaned children, increasing salaries for orphanage staff, and increasing monthly state welfare payments for children with disabilities and those who care for children with disabilities.
The recent revelation that Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort allegedly met with a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, in July of last year specifically to discuss the controversial Russian adoption ban, is highly intriguing and may be a key development in the pedogate investigation, I believe, because of its possible connection to child trafficking and international pedophile rings. The NY Times has reported Trump's eldest son was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton would be revealed at the meeting.

There is like a 99% chance you're regurgitating a Russian misinformation campaign, you know that right?
Nobody other than Putin fans and conspiracy driven Trump supporters think Herod's law has a legitimate basis. That you threw in Putin's bullshite company line ("i'll fix our crumbling orphanages) to widespread Russian anger about using orphans to punish America for Magnitsky is just crazy.
