Having a lot of family from Russia, I will say that if this guy is on a journey of acceptance, he may have started from the gold tees, while a lot of us started at the reds. What's important is that people progress, and growing up surrounded by Russian cultural values, that might take quite a bit of time.
My Grandpa was born to Russian parents, and by the time he left this earth he'd fully accepted his bisexual granddaughter, and saw his son-in-law become his daughter-in-law, and still maintained a relationship with her through it all. He was likely way behind Kuzmenko at the same age, but I think there was still a good person in there just finding their way through it all.
Maybe he's a total dink, but I'll assume the best until proven otherwise (thanks Dillon Dube).

I'll have to find the actual tweet and not the screenshot a friend sent me last year.
Kuzmenko did sign a fan's Pride jersey after the fact and posed for a photo with the fan.
