the "epic" suggestion

There is a good Russian idiom about such things - раздувать из мухи слона, which corresponds to the English phrase - blow out of proportion. At least that's my take
Why is it out of proportion? The Russian government passed laws essentially turning a certain class of people into criminals. Some people feel that boycotting the Olympics is a worthwhile step to express their disapproval.
