The Russian Orthodox Church found a connection between quadrobing and gender reassignment: priest Fyodor Lukyanov said that quadrobing was created by the banned LGBT community to “refashion” young people
Quadrobing is not a children's game or sport, but a subculture that involves searching for an alternative identity, a dangerous social technology that psychologically prepares a child to accept anti-values, including multiple genders and LGBT people.
The head of the Patriarchal Commission on Family Affairs also called pedophilia a common phenomenon accompanying the subculture of quadrobers, explaining this by saying that “the mask erases age”:
That is, quadrobing is a system of involvement in the destructive ideology of LGBT people, mimicking sports and games, through the gradual linking of animal identity with the concept of plurality of genders and the displacement from the child’s consciousness of the concept of family as a marriage union of a man and a woman.
