Vladimir Putin has likened Russia portrayal in the West to the public backlash Harry Potter author JK Rowling has faced for making transphobic comments.

The Russian president used a televised speech to launch a bizarre tirade against the ‘progressive discirmination of everything to do with Russia’.

He added: ‘So they just cancelled, cynically, this truth. They cancelled Joanne Rowling recently, the children’s author. Her books are published all over the world.‘They are now trying to cancel our country. I’m talking about the progressive discrimination of everything to do with Russia, this trend that’s unfolding in a number of Western states.’

The 69-year-old’s speech lamented the ‘public ostracism and boycotting or the silencing of facts, books, names of historic activists, writers who don’t fit into the modern stereotypes no matter how absurd they are’.
