Pro-Kremlin media groups have released a political ad that bashes gay marriage and paints same-sex adoption in a negative light.
The video urges Russians to vote in a referendum on constitutional amendments which is scheduled for July 1.
The amendments include provisions for defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman, as well as allowing presidents to run for office regardless of the number of previous terms they served.
This would allow Putin to run for two more consecutive six-year terms, making him 83 at the time he would step down from office.
