My theory is a lot of liberal writers are using this as a hit piece due to Russia's anti-gay laws. To me, it seems blown out of proportion to anyone who has really travelled the world. There are several sites, several writers, etc., who seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. I mean, in Japan, did you have writers commenting on the squat toilets or that you'd have to bring your own toilet paper in many of the public facilities?
In Europe, double and triple rooms are pretty standard. I wouldn't expect some remote town in Russia to have all the amenities that Aspen or Whistler would.
