href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russian Empire</a>) has largely been influenced by the political leanings of its rulers. Medieval Catholic-Protestant Europe had the largest influence on Russian attitude towards homosexuality. Russian LGBT history was influenced by the ambivalent attitude of the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Orthodox" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian Orthodox">Russian Orthodox</a> religiosity regarding sexuality. Under the reign of <a href="/wiki/Peter_the_Great" title="Peter the Great">Peter the Great</a> in the 18th century, who introduced a wide range of reforms aimed at modernizing and Westernizing Russia, male homosexual activity was banned only for soldiers in military statutes. In 1832, the criminal code included Article 995, which stated that "muzhelozhstvo", or men lying with men, was a criminal act punishable by exile to <a href="/wiki/Siberia" title="Siberia">Siberia</a> for up to five years. Men lying with men was interpreted by courts as meaning anal sex. Application of the laws was rare, and the turn of the century found a relaxation of these laws and a general growing of tolerance and visibility. In the wake of the <a href="/wiki/October_Revolution" title="October Revolution">October Revolution</a>, the Bolshevik government decriminalized homosexuality. The Bolsheviks rewrote the constitution and "produced two Criminal Codes – in 1922 and 1926 – and an article prohibiting homosexual sex was left off both."<a href="#cite_note-auto1-1">[1]</a> The new <a href="/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Communist Party of the Soviet Union">Communist Party</a> government removed the old laws regarding sexual relations, effectively legalising <a href="/wiki/Homosexuality" title="Homosexuality">homosexual</a> activity within Russia, although it remained illegal in other territories of the Soviet Union, and the homosexuals in Russia were still <a href="/w/index.php?title=History_of_violence_against_homosexuals_in_Russia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="History of violence against homosexuals in Russia (page does not exist)">persecuted</a> [<a href="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%98%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2_%D0%B2_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B8" class="extiw" title="ru:История преследования гомосексуалов в России">ru</a>] and sacked from their jobs.<a href="#cite_note-auto1-1">[1]</a> Under <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Stalin" title="Joseph Stalin">Joseph Stalin</a>, the Soviet Union recriminalized homosexuality in a decree signed in 1933.<a href="#cite_note-star-2">[2]</a> The new Article 121, which punished "muzhelozhstvo" with imprisonment for up to five years, saw raids and arrests. Female homosexuals were sent to mental institutions. The decree was part of a broader campaign against "deviant" behavior and "Western degeneracy".<a href="#cite_note-auto1-1">[1]</a> Following Stalin's death, there was a <a href="/wiki/Liberalism" title="Liberalism">liberalisation</a> of attitudes toward sexual issues in the Soviet Union, but homosexual acts remained illegal. Discrimination against LGBT individuals persisted in the Soviet era, and homosexuality was not officially declassified as a mental illness until 1999.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Soviet Article 121 was often commonly used to extend prison sentences and to control dissidents. Among those imprisoned were the well-known film director <a href="/wiki/Sergei_Parajanov" title="Sergei Parajanov">Sergei Paradjanov</a> and the poet Gennady Trifonov. Under <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev" title="Mikhail Gorbachev">Mikhail Gorbachev</a>'s administration in the late 1980s, the first gay organization came into being. The Moscow Gay & Lesbian Alliance was headed by Yevgeniya Debryanskaya and Roman Kalinin, who became the editor of the first officially registered gay newspaper, Tema. The fall of the USSR accelerated the progress of the gay movement in Russia. Gay publications and plays appeared. In 1993, a new Russian Criminal Code was signed, without Article 121. Men who had been imprisoned began to be released.

According to Dan Healey, archival material that became widely available following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 "demonstrates a principled intent to decriminalize the act between consenting adults, expressed from the earliest efforts to write a socialist criminal code in 1918 to the eventual adoption of legislation in 1922."<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> The legalisation of private, adult and consensual homosexual relations only applied to the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Soviet_Federative_Socialist_Republic" title="Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic">Russian SFSR</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic" title="Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic">Ukrainian SSR</a>.

Official Soviet policy in both the RSFSR and the wider USSR in the 1920s on homosexuality fluctuated between toleration and support, attempts at legal equality and social rights for homosexual people, to open examples of state hostility against homosexuals and state attempts to classify homosexuality as "a mental disorder to be cured".<a href="#cite_note-Dan_Healey_GLQ_8_p._349-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> In the Communist Party itself during this period of the 1920s, such divergences of opinion and policy on Soviet treatment of homosexuality was also common, ranging from positive, to negative, to ambivalent over views about homosexuals and homosexual rights.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-22">[22]</a> Some sections and factions of the Bolshevik government attempted to improve rights and social conditions for homosexuals based on further legal reforms in 1922 and 1923 while others opposed such moves. In the early 1920s, Commissar of Health <a href="/wiki/Nikolai_Semashko_(medicine)" title="Nikolai Semashko (medicine)">Nikolai Semashko</a> for example was sympathetic<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> to homosexual emancipation "as part of the [sexual] revolution" and attempted such reforms for homosexual rights in the area of civil and medical areas.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-28">[28]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Wayne_R._Dynes" title="Wayne R.

Along with increased repression of political dissidents and non-Russian nationalities<a href="#cite_note-star-2">[2]</a> under Stalin, LGBT themes and issues faced increasing official government censorship and a uniformly harsher policy across the entire Soviet Union. Homosexuality was officially labelled a disease and a mental disorder in the late 1920s (specifically over a period from 1927 to 1930).<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> In this climate, Commissar Semashko reduced his support for homosexual rights and Dr. Batkis and other sexual researchers repudiated (in 1928) their own earlier scientific reports of homosexuality as a natural human sexuality.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> This followed earlier Soviet tendencies in sections of the medical and health communities, even in the early 1920s, to classify homosexuality, if not as a crime, then as an example of mental or physical illness. Earlier examples of this type of hardening Soviet attitude towards homosexuality include the 1923 report from the People's Commissariat for Health entitled The Sexual Life of Contemporary Youth, authored by Izrail Gel'man, which stated: "Science has now established, with precision that excludes all doubt, that homosexuality is not ill will or crime but sickness. The world of a female or male homosexual is perverted, it is alien to the normal sexual attraction that exists in a normal person".<a href="#cite_note-dubtwo-36">[36]</a> The official stance from the late 1920s could be summarised in an article of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Soviet_Encyclopedia" title="Great Soviet Encyclopedia">Great Soviet Encyclopedia</a> of 1930 written by medical expert Sereisky (based on a report written in the 1920s): <blockquote>Soviet legislation does not recognise so-called crimes against morality.

In 1934, the British communist Harry Whyte wrote a long letter to Stalin condemning the law and its prejudicial motivations. He laid out a Marxist position against the oppression of homosexuals as a social minority and compared homophobia to racism, xenophobia and sexism.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> Stalin did not reply to the letter, but ordered it to be archived, and added a note describing Whyte as "An idiot and a degenerate."<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> A few years later in 1936, Justice Commissar <a href="/wiki/Nikolai_Krylenko" title="Nikolai Krylenko">Nikolai Krylenko</a> publicly stated that the anti-gay criminal law was correctly aimed at the decadent and effete old ruling classes, thus further linking homosexuality to a right-wing conspiracy, i.e. Tsarist aristocracy and German fascists.<a href="#cite_note-workers-43">[43]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="LGBT_history_post-Stalin:_1953–1991">LGBT history post-Stalin: 1953–1991</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LGBTQ_history_in_Russia&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: LGBT history post-Stalin: 1953–1991">edit</a>]</div> When Stalin came to power, homosexuality became a topic unfit for public depiction, defense or discussion. Homosexual or bisexual Soviet citizens who wanted a position within the Communist Party were expected to marry a person of the opposite sex, regardless of their actual sexual orientation. A notable example was the Russian film director <a href="/wiki/Sergei_Eisenstein" title="Sergei Eisenstein">Sergei Eisenstein</a>, who despite his homosexuality managed to survive by leading a double life, having affairs with men while married to a woman, producing films that were politically pleasing to Stalin. After Stalin died in 1953, he was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev" title="Nikita Khrushchev">Nikita Khrushchev</a>, who proceeded to liberalize the Stalin era laws regarding marriage, divorce and abortion, but the anti-gay criminal law remained. The Khrushchev government believed that absent of a criminal law against homosexuality, the sex between men that occurred in the prison environment would spread into the general population as they released many Stalin-era prisoners. Whereas the Stalin government conflated <a href="/wiki/Homosexuality_and_pedophilia" class="mw-redirect" title="Homosexuality and pedophilia">homosexuality with pedophilia</a>, the Khrushchev government conflated homosexuality with the situational, sometimes forced, sex acts between male prisoners.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> Although the topic of homosexuality was practically unmentionable, some references to homosexuality could be found in Soviet sex education manuals for young people and their parents. These manuals were published from the early 1950s to the early 1960s in the hope of restricting the sexual activity of Soviet people and to raise their awareness of venereal diseases. These manuals mentioned homosexuality to prevent Soviet children and youth from engaging in it. The first Khrushchev-era sex education manual to mention homosexuality was The Youth Becomes a Man (1960) and described homosexuals as child molesters: "...homosexuals are aroused by and satisfy themselves with adolescents and youngsters, even though the latter have a normal interest towards girls. Homosexuals go all out to gain the affection of the youngsters' society; they buy sweets and cigarettes for youngsters, tickets to the cinema, give them money, help to do home assignments and generally pretend that they unselfishly love youngsters. However, after such preparation, they sooner or later proceed to act. Do not let them touch you! Do not be shy about reporting them to your parents or educators, do not hesitate to report such attempts aimed at you or other young men!

Yet during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Aline Mosby, a foreign reporter in Russia at the time, attributed to the more liberal attitude of the Khrushchev government to the fact that she did see some gay couples in public and that it was not uncommon to see men waiting outside of certain theaters looking for dates with male performers.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> In the late 1950s some Soviet jurists attempted to decriminalise consensual sodomy. On 23 July 1959 a committee of Soviet jurists convened to discuss and propose changes to the new RSFSR republican criminal code. Two members of the committee proposed to eliminate the law penalising consensual sodomy, yet their proposal was not supported by other members of the committee.<a href="#cite_note-auto2-49">[49]</a> Discussions between Soviet legal scholars on the value of the anti-sodomy law continued under Brezhnev. Those legal scholars, who believed that consensual homosexuality should not be a crime, argued that it was a disease, which had to be dealt with by medical knowledge. They also contended that homosexuality was a <a href="/wiki/Birth_defect" title="Birth defect">congenital</a> condition and therefore gay people were not guilty of being different from others. Finally, these scholars argued that investigating sodomy cases, where both partners had consensual sex, was not only pointless, but technically difficult. Other legal scholars, mainly those who worked for the Interior Ministry educational institutions, opposed the idea of decriminalising consensual homosexuality. They criticised their pro-decriminalisation colleagues and argued that such propositions were ill-timed and dangerous, since homosexuality could easily spread if not controlled by the law. Likewise, they believed that homosexuality was inconsistent with the Communist Morality.<a href="#cite_note-auto2-49">[49]</a> Brezhnev-era police often prosecuted homosexuals using concocted evidence and intimidating witnesses. If the witnesses were reluctant to testify against the presumed suspect, they could face criminal charges themselves. Once a sodomy case was initiated, pressure from the Party made it impossible to drop and the defendant would most likely end up in jail. Soviet advocates could do very little to help their clients in such cases despite their appeals to the General Procuracy.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> Thousands of people were imprisoned for homosexuality and government censorship of homosexuality and gay rights did not begin to slowly relax until the early 1970s, allowing for brief statements. Kozlovsky[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">who?</a>] was permitted to include a brief interior monologue about homosexuality in <a href="/wiki/Moscow_to_the_End_of_the_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Moscow to the End of the Line">Moscow to the End of the Line</a> (1973). Perhaps the first public endorsement of gay rights since Stalin was a brief statement, critical of Article 121 and calling for its repeal, made in the Textbook of Soviet Criminal Law (1973).<a href="#cite_note-Dub89-362-39">[39]</a> These references were characterized as being brief statements in a novel or textbook and were made by heterosexuals. Vicktor Sosnora was allowed to write about witnessing an elderly gay actor being brutally murdered in a Leningrad bar in The Flying Dutchman (1979), but the book was only allowed to be published in East Germany. When the author was gay and in particular if they were seen as supporting gay rights, the censors tended to be much harsher. Russian gay author <a href="/wiki/Yevgeny_Kharitonov_(poet)" title="Yevgeny Kharitonov (poet)">Yevgeny Kharitonov</a> illegally circulated some gay fiction before he died of heart failure in 1981. Author Gennady Trifonov served four years of hard labour for circulating his gay poems and upon his release was allowed to write and publish only if he avoided depicting or making reference to homosexuality.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> Despite sodomy being a punishable crime, the practitioners of new <a href="/wiki/Sexology" title="Sexology">sexological science</a> ("sexopathology"), which emerged in the 1960s, argued that homosexuality should be treated with psychotherapy. They provided such treatment to homosexual men in the privacy of their consultation rooms and went to great lengths to preserve their patients' anonymity. Some of these doctors even went as far as to suggest that the sodomy law should be abolished altogether so that homosexuals could resort to medical help without fear of prosecution. Their calls, however, fell on deaf ears.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> In 1960s and 1970s the emerging sexopathology (up to this point concerned with sexual orientation and <a href="/wiki/Intersex" title="Intersex">intersex</a> conditions) encountered its first <a href="/wiki/Transgender" title="Transgender">trans</a> patients seeking <a href="/wiki/Gender-affirming_surgery" title="Gender-affirming surgery">sex reassignment surgeries</a>.

This bill was initiated in 2007 by a <a href="/wiki/Fair_Russia" class="mw-redirect" title="Fair Russia">Fair Russia</a> party member and suggested depriving those who "openly demonstrated a homosexual way of life and a homosexual orientation" of the right to hold posts in educational establishments or in the army for a term from 2 to 5 years.<a href="#cite_note-MN_BCGPRbRP-79">[79]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Interfax" title="Interfax">Interfax</a>, the parliamentarians decided that gay "propaganda" was not dangerous for society and thus could not be punished under the criminal code.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Nikolai Alekseev, Chief organizer of the Moscow Pride, commented that with parliament rejecting this bill, it is likely that the <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_Russia" title="Constitutional Court of Russia">Constitutional Court of Russia</a> follows Moscow Pride's request to cancel a similar law that is in force in the <a href="/wiki/Ryazan_Region" class="mw-redirect" title="Ryazan Region">Ryazan Region</a>.<a href="#cite_note-MN_BCGPRbRP-79">[79]</a> On 16 May, the Moscow Pride timed to coincide with Moscow's hosting of the <a href="/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2009" title="Eurovision Song Contest 2009">2009 Eurovision song contest</a> finals was broken up by police, with all 30 participants – including British human rights activist <a href="/wiki/Peter_Tatchell" title="Peter Tatchell">Peter Tatchell</a> – arrested.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a><a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> On 17 May, for the <a href="/wiki/International_Day_Against_Homophobia" class="mw-redirect" title="International Day Against Homophobia">International Day Against Homophobia</a> <a href="/wiki/Russian_LGBT_network" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian LGBT network">Russian LGBT network</a> organized the Rainbow Flash Mob in Saint Petersburg; this event brought together from 100 to 250 people by various estimations and the organizers consider it to be the most large-scale action in the whole history of Russia dedicated to the problem of <a href="/wiki/LGBT_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="LGBT rights">LGBT rights</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a><a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> The action in smaller scales has also passed in more than 30 cities of Russia. In 2010, Russia was fined by the <a href="/wiki/European_Court_of_Human_Rights" title="European Court of Human Rights">European Court of Human Rights</a> under allegations by <a href="/wiki/Nikolay_Alexeyev" title="Nikolay Alexeyev">Nikolay Alexeyev</a> that cities were discriminating against gays by refusing to approve pride parades. Although they claimed a risk of violence, the court ruled that their decision "effectively approved of and supported groups who had called for [their] disruption". He considered the ruling to be a "crippling blow to Russian homophobia on all accounts".<a href="#cite_note-bbcnews-fined-88">[88]</a> In 2011, the <a href="/wiki/Arkhangelsk_Oblast" title="Arkhangelsk Oblast">Arkhangelsk Oblast</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kostroma_Oblast" title="Kostroma Oblast">Kostroma Oblast</a> legislatures followed the <a href="/wiki/Ryazan_Oblast" title="Ryazan Oblast">Ryazan Region</a>, passing laws banning "propaganda of homosexuality." In March 2012, the <a href="/wiki/Saint_Petersburg" title="Saint Petersburg">St. Petersburg</a> Duma also passed a law prohibiting "public acts aimed at the propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality, and transgenderism among minors."<a href="#cite_note-:0-4">[4]</a> By the end of 2012, the regions of <a href="/wiki/Magadan_Oblast" title="Magadan Oblast">Magadan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Novosibirsk_Oblast" title="Novosibirsk Oblast">Novosibirsk</a>, <a href="/wiki/Samara_Oblast" title="Samara Oblast">Samara</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Krasnodar_Krai" title="Krasnodar Krai">Krasnodar</a> all had bans on the "propaganda of homosexuality."<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> Also in 2011, Moscow's mayor <a href="/wiki/Sergey_Sobyanin" title="Sergey Sobyanin">Sergey Sobyanin</a> blocked Nikolay Alexeyev's request for permission to organize Moscow Pride in the city for the next 100 years.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> In August 2012, contravening the previous <a href="/wiki/European_Court_of_Human_Rights" title="European Court of Human Rights">European Court of Human Rights</a> ruling, Moscow upheld Sobyanin's ruling, citing the possibility of public disorder.<a href="#cite_note-bbc-paradefine-91">[91]</a> In March 2012, an attempt to organize a <a href="/wiki/Pride_House" title="Pride House">Pride House</a> at the <a href="/wiki/2014_Winter_Olympics" title="2014 Winter Olympics">2014 Winter Olympics</a> was struck down by the Ministry of Justice, which refused to approve the registration of the NGO set up to run it on the basis of the Pride House inciting "propaganda of non-traditional sexual orientation which can undermine the security of the Russian society and the state, provoke social-religious hatred, which is the feature of the extremist character of the activity".<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="2013–present">2013–present</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=LGBTQ_history_in_Russia&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: 2013–present">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/LGBT_people_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War" class="mw-redirect" title="LGBT people in the Russo-Ukrainian War">LGBT people in the Russo-Ukrainian War</a></div> In June 2013, Russia <a href="/wiki/Russian_gay_propaganda_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian gay propaganda law">passed a federal law</a> banning the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" to minors.<a href="#cite_note-guardian-passed-5">[5]</a> Article 6.21 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses was approved by the State Duma in a 436–0 vote prior to being signed in by <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Putin" title="Vladimir Putin">Vladimir Putin</a>. Putin's justifications for it are to promote "traditional Russian values" in opposition of Western state liberalism in regards to homosexuality, "protect the children" and to boost Russia's falling birthrate.<a href="#cite_note-a-93">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-b-94">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-c-95">[95]</a> Much of the support for the "propaganda" law comes from the Russian Orthodox Church and other conservative groups.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> This support is so intense that the only Parliament member to abstain was one <a href="/wiki/Ilya_Ponomarev" title="Ilya Ponomarev">Ilya Ponomarev</a>, who has history of supporting pro-LGBT protests.<a href="#cite_note-a-93">[93]</a> Earlier, the Duma's final vote had been 388–1–1. This level of state support reflects the opinions of the general Russian population: polls conducted by the Levada Center indicate that nearly two-thirds of Russians consider "morally unacceptable and worth condemning". The same research indicates that half of Russians are against gay rallies and same-sex marriage and approximately a third of them think homosexuality results from "a sickness or a psychological trauma".<a href="#cite_note-d-97">[97]</a> Vitaly Milonov, a heavily conservative Russian Orthodox politician who was and is one of the main driving forces behind Russian anti-LGBT legislation, claimed that "only a man and a woman can be a family" and that the "propaganda" covered by the law is "dangerous" as "children are very vulnerable to manipulation" and could be led to believe that "only homosexuals experience true feelings".<a href="#cite_note-e-98">[98]</a> Article 6.21 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses deems the following as a punishable offense: "Propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors, manifested in the distribution of information aimed at forming non-traditional sexual orientations, the attraction of non-traditional sexual relations, distorted conceptions of the social equality of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations among minors, or imposing information on non-traditional sexual relations which evoke interest in these kinds of relations".<a href="#cite_note-c-95">[95]</a> Distributing any such "propaganda" is punishable by fining: 4,000 to 5,000 rubles for individuals (about $120–$150 U.S. dollars) and up to 800,000 to 1 million rubles (about $24,000–$30,000 U.S. dollars) for corporations and other legal entities. Foreigners are also subject to Article 6.21 and violation results in up to fifteen days of incarceration and/or deportation.<a href="#cite_note-f-99">[99]</a> Such strict enforcement has been heavily criticized due to Article 6.21's vague wording as prior its officiation the law's wording was changed from addressing "homosexual propaganda" to "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations", which is nebulous enough to leave the definition up to police and courts to interpret when detaining LGBT activists. It has also been noted that the wording essentially equates homosexuality with paedophelia as the latter also falls under the "nontraditional sexual relations" category.<a href="#cite_note-a-93">[93]</a> Despite such criticisms, President Putin has stated that "homosexuals are equal citizens enjoying full rights"<a href="#cite_note-h-100">[100]</a> and Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Dmitri_Medvedev" class="mw-redirect" title="Dmitri Medvedev">Dmitri Medvedev</a> has said that he "[believes] that only a negligible part of the Russian population is actually concerned about [the new law]".<a href="#cite_note-i-101">[101]</a> Following Article 6.21's passage, there has been an increase in violence and harassment towards LGBT individuals in Russia. People have been subject to smear campaigns from homophobic civilians and administrative fines, some even had to resign from their jobs to lessen the load.<a href="#cite_note-j-102">[102]</a> Two vigilante groups in particular have been conducting extensive anti-LGBT campaigns, infringing the privacy of thousands of Russian youth: Occupy Gerontophilia, which targets gay teenagers; and Occupy Paedophilia, which focuses on gay adults (equating homosexuality with pedophilia all the while). These groups often operate by "ambushing" LGBT adults and youth by contacting them online and attempt to convince them to come to allegedly gay-friendly meetings. Once the victims arrive, they are viciously harassed and humiliated on-camera. Occupy Gerontophilia posted dozens of videos to the social network VKontakte before it was shut down for infringing the privacy of minors—but not before the organizations page got 170,000 subscribers.<a href="#cite_note-j-102">[102]</a> Occupy Gerontophilia and Occupy Paedophilia are not the only ones hostile towards the LGBT community: in May 2013, a 23-year-old man was brutally beaten and killed in the city of Volgograd not long after the "propaganda" law's passage, all because he had admitted his status as a gay man to his friends.<a href="#cite_note-k-103">[103]</a> Despite the severe situation, Russian law "[does] not outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation", leaving millions of people without any kind of widespread protection.<a href="#cite_note-j-102">[102]</a> Though Maxim Martsinkevich, the founder of Occupy Paedophilia, was arrested and convicted on charges of "inciting and fomenting cases of extremism", in his videos and postings on VKontakte the prosecution did not actually include any of his homophobic videos or statements as evidence in its case against Martsinkevich.<a href="#cite_note-l-104">[104]</a> The sole public support and safe space for LGBT youth is a group called Deti-404 (Children-404), founded by LGBT activist Lena Klimova, which has active pages on Facebook and VKontakte. On Deti-404, LGBT youth can share and discuss their experiences in their country's hostile environment.<a href="#cite_note-j-102">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-m-105">[105]</a> However, the group has already faced bureaucratic violence from the Russian government. On 31 January 2014, Klimova was charged for the "promotion of nontraditional sexual relations to minors" under the new law, potentially facing a fine of up to 100,000 rubles ($2,800).<a href="#cite_note-n-106">[106]</a> The case against Klimova was eventually dismissed due to "absence of an administrative offence", but Christian conservative politician Vitaly Milonov, who was the one to originally urge the case, has stated his intention to appeal.<a href="#cite_note-o-107">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-p-108">[108]</a> Since before Article 6.21's passage, the number of Russian asylum seekers has been dramatically increasing and since the law's passage that number has increased still more. It has been speculated that the greater number of asylum seekers is due to the aforementioned rise in anti-LGBT harassment and violence. Even in 2012, in the time leading up to Article 6.21's passage the advocacy group Immigration Equality stated that had it won more gay and lesbian asylum cases for Russians than from any other country other than Jamaica in the previous two years.<a href="#cite_note-q-109">[109]</a> By 2013, the United States had received 837 new asylum applications from Russian nationals and in 2014 this number rose to 969 new applications. According to Immigration Equality, the majority of the inquiries come from young (under the age of 30) Russians who fear being harassed, beaten, or even killed by homophobic groups like Occupy Paedophilia. Spectrum Human Rights, a Virginia-based advocacy group, has received double the amount of enquiries from the Russian LGBT community since last year.<a href="#cite_note-r-110">[110]</a> As the situation has worsened, protests from the LGBT community have continued despite the fact that President Putin has passed a law outlawing repeated street protests.<a href="#cite_note-s-111">[111]</a> Notably, the Russian LGBT Network has "53 events to spread information about LGBT rights and problems, 144 events for the members of LGBT community, [and] 33 street actions and 21 advocacy events" on record for 2014.<a href="#cite_note-t-112">[112]</a> However, participants in pro-LGBT events have faced heavy opposition. In October 2013, a pro-LGBT rally meant to observe National Coming Out Day in Saint Petersburg consisting of roughly 15 people had been accosted and harassed by about 200 conservative and religious protestors.<a href="#cite_note-u-113">[113]</a> The situation escalated to violence after one of the religious protesters tore a rainbow flag out of a woman's hands—at which point the police, which remained passive up to this point, arrested 67 people on both sides.<a href="#cite_note-v-114">[114]</a> State persecution of and harsh tactics against the LGBT community increased in 2022 <a
