Meanwhile, most sex shops: selling jelly which just straight up melts with time, TPE/TPR which are porous and might melt when boiled and therefore pretty much impossible to keep clean, PVC which they promise doesn't contain phthalates this time, and silicone that has about a 50% chance of actually being platinum cured. DIYers can't be much worse, as far as I know, they either outright state what methods and materials they use or will provide them upon request.

In Russian, pronunciation of Е depends on its placement. If preceded by a consonant, it's pronounced like a "softer" Э. A bit like "bet" vs "bat" in US English. It's only pronounced as "ye" if it's the first letter of the word, or preceded by a vowel, soft sign (Ь) or hard sign (Ъ).
In Ukrainian, Є is similar to Russian Е, but it's not modified if preceded by a consonant - in these cases it's typically replaced by i. Ukrainian Е is indeed about the same as Russian Э. And Russian Ё is replaced by combinations ЙО or ЬО.
The Supreme Court declared the "LGBT movement" to be extremist on November 30th last year. Ruling went into power on January 10th. Now it just got added to a list. People have already been arrested because of it before this. It's not an actual movement, the whole thing is just an excuse for more repressions, of course.
Can the press just stop paying attention to him? He doesn't hold any power, he gets to make no decisions, he was chosen to be Putin's seat-warmer in 2008 because he was considered to be a safe choice, with no real ambitions and was extremely easy to reel in. His position on the "security council" means nothing, he was put there specifically so he'd be in a hostile environment, being a random guy between the military, the FSB and the intelligence service. Not that the council itself is much more than a Putin's puppet. He became the biggest hawk as soon as the war started just in case anyone recalls some of his more "liberal" initiatives. In reality, there's only 3 things he's in charge of: a bottle, a shot glass and his telegram account.
