Ah yes, inasmuch as the Russian slang term for a homosexual is a “pederast” they really see themselves as doing god’s work by ridding the world of gays.

A translator’s false friend. In colloquial Russian “pederastiya” is not associated with ephebophilia, not on the semantic level. It’s just a full synonym of “gomoseksual’nost’”.
