Uh huh.
So just to make sure we're completely on the same page. These static pillars of light that are perpendicular to the ground are from a Russian secret laser weapon designed to blind spy satellites?
A few points:
The majority of satellites don't appear in a stationary spot above the earth's surface, some do but a geosynchronous spy satellite makes little sense. Having all your spy satellites being in a geosynchronous orbit makes no sense at all. Considering these pics have been up for nearly a day there will have been numerous satellites in a lower orbit that would have passed over Belgorod multiple times since these lights first appeared. 50% of Russian nuclear silos being invisible to all US/NATO satellites because of some visible "lasers" pointing directly upwards is laughable.
As for lasers being in quotation marks, I don't believe that is a laser. I'm not a physics expert but I don't think a laser would dissipate into it's surroundings the same way these lights are. Just compare your images with these from lasers in Brighton and Coventry:

If these truly are lasers that can reach hundreds of miles into space, there should be a much more evident solid central core of the laser.
And finally, if it actually is a high powered laser. And if the only spy satellites over Russia are in a geosynchronous orbit. A laser shouldn't make them completely blind. On board cameras might be disrupted but surely there would be some infra-red sensors or electro-optical sensors on board which wouldn't be disrupted.
I'm going with my initial idea that they're the natural phenomenon of light pillars. On the off chance it's a man made phenomenon I doubt it's anything more than a large spotlight.
