The ban on gay propaganda in modern Russia differs from the Soviet country in more free morals. With access to the Internet, young people become familiar with various subcultures. These are hiphopers, hipsters, rockers, punks and others. The state does not infringe on the right to taste in music or clothing, there is no persecution due to the bright color of the hair or the refusal of meat food. Unlike the European Union, where non-traditional marriages are allowed in most countries, Russia remains conservative. Homosexuals are no longer arrested, but since 2013 it has been legally prohibited to promote such relationships. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed a law banning propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors (Law No. 135).
Attitude towards non-traditional sexual orientation in Russia
Most of the population of the Russian Federation grew up in Soviet times, considering this era an example for the rising new generation. In those days, "there was no sex," and homosexuality was considered a serious disease. Non-traditional relations in the USSR fell under the article of the Criminal Code. Many were imprisoned, beaten and persecuted. Only in the 90s they got rid of persecution and began to defend their rights. Due to sexually transmitted diseases, in particular AIDS, many Russians are against same-sex relationships. Gay parades and rallies are dispersed by people with radically opposite views. The issue of unconventional love in the state is acute, so the legislature decided to intervene.

Federal Law No. 135 prohibits active campaigning of non-traditional communications. The legislature explains that the impressionability of adolescents can affect the child's psyche and impose unconventional views. The prohibition of propaganda of homosexuality applies exclusively to minors. It is forbidden to actively demonstrate same-sex relationships in the presence of children, to hold rallies and parades. The media should not show homosexual relationships as an example to follow.
At the same time, it is possible to cover the life of homosexuals, it is not forbidden to be in non-traditional relationships, you can also walk by the hand and speak neutrally about your position. The main thing is not to obsessively show unconventional love in front of teenagers, so as not to provoke them into rash acts. The child's psyche is arranged in such a way that the child repeats the words and actions received in society. Nothing should shape their sexual preferences. For a conscious choice, time must pass, if a minor himself searches for information on the Internet and decides to become a member of a sexual minority, then this is no longer considered propaganda.
The law on the prohibition of propaganda of homosexuality is protected by the executive and judicial authorities of the Russian Federation. Violation of the law threatens with administrative responsibility. A citizen of Russia for disseminating information is fined up to 5,000 rubles, civil servants will pay 40-50 thousand rubles, organizations will be punished in the amount of 1,000,000 rubles with suspension from work for 3 calendar months. Foreigners engaged in propaganda among children will be detained for 15 days, and then immediately deported from the country. For campaigning through mass communication channels, fines are several times higher and offenders are punished more severely.
European Court of Human Rights
The ban on gay propaganda violates freedom of speech, Europe claims. The court protects absolutely all human rights: life, housing, food, religion, nationality, skin color. Same-sex relationships are no exception, because it is the choice of an individual. In many countries homosexuals live on an equal footing with the traditional family. In some states, they have advantages over others: they are the first to receive medical care, they can apply for refugee status, and so on. That is, a non-traditional family can easily be taken in by a tolerant developed country, while the average family has little chance of moving to another country.
The ECHR considers the Russian Law on Prohibition of LGBT Propaganda to be discrimination against sexual minorities. Activists appealed to European defenders with a claim for infringement of rights. According to them, non-traditional couples are deprived of freedom of speech. The judge from the Russian Federation opposed the decision with the explanation that the interests of children are more important than self-expression. But the European Convention on Human Rights took the side of fundamental freedoms and made a final decision in favor of sexual minorities. The Russian Federation paid 49,000 euros to the applicants of a particular social group as compensation for non-pecuniary damage and legal costs.

LGBT community
This abbreviation stands for the community of all sexual minorities: lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgenders. Rainbow symbolism, a pink triangle with a lambda distinguish this social group from others. Baev, Kiselev and Alekseev act as defenders of LGBT rights in Russia. The infringement of one's rights is associated with gender discrimination, recalling cases in history related to the persecution of African Americans and representatives of other religions.
The ban on gay propaganda has activated LGBT people. The Rainbow Association, founded in 2006, actively defends the rights of gender minorities, supporting the movement with rallies, actions, protests and public speeches. Nikolay Alekseev is considered to be the ideological inspirer and leader. His victory at the European Court of Human Rights enables a separate social group to defend their rights without fear of persecution. These are the right to health care, work, court, privacy and non-traditional relationships. Homosexual relationships are no longer considered a crime or a disease, but cases of discrimination still occur. For protection, you can apply incognito to a lawyer online. Residents of Moscow and other cities can count on legal support.
Statistics
The majority of citizens support the ban on agitation of the LGBT social group. More than 80% are against propaganda of homosexuality. In addition, over 40% of the population considers homosexuality a crime that should be criminalized. A quarter of the citizens surveyed insist that it is shameful to be gay. More than 15% require the imposition of penalties for non-traditional sex. The European Convention on Human Rights supports a social group. LGBT representatives are full-fledged donors, have equal rights in court and, most importantly, can speak their views without fear. They achieved equality in many ways, but not in relation to the family. In the Russian Federation, a homosexual couple will not be able to adopt a child. And 67% of the population agree with this.

(CAO RF edition 2018-2019)
Code of Administrative Offenses
Article 6.21. Promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among minors
(introduced by Federal Law No. 135-FZ of June 29, 2013)
1. Propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors, expressed in the dissemination of information aimed at the formation of non-traditional sexual attitudes among minors, the attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relations, a distorted idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations, or the imposition of information about non-traditional sexual relations that arouses interest in such relations, if these actions do not contain a criminally punishable act, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of four thousand to five thousand roubles; on officials - from forty thousand to fifty thousand rubles; on legal entities - from eight hundred thousand to one million rubles or an administrative suspension of activities for a period of up to ninety days.
2. Actions provided for by paragraph 1 of this article, committed with the use of mass media and (or) information and telecommunication networks (including the Internet), if these actions do not contain a criminally punishable act, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand roubles; on officials - from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand rubles; for legal entities - one million rubles or an administrative suspension of activities for up to ninety days.
3. Actions provided for by part 1 of this article, committed by a foreign citizen or a stateless person, if these actions do not contain a criminally punishable act, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of four thousand to five thousand rubles with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation or administrative arrest for a term of up to fifteen days with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation.
4. The actions provided for by paragraph 1 of this article, committed by a foreign citizen or a stateless person using the mass media and (or) information and telecommunication networks (including the Internet), if these actions do not contain a criminally punishable act, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand rubles with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation or administrative arrest for a term of up to fifteen days with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia proposed to introduce criminal liability for "propaganda of pedophilia and homosexuality" among minors. According to the TASS news agency, on October 19, at a meeting of the State Duma, Sergei Alabin, head of the department for combating pedophilia of the department for combating crimes against the person of the GUUR, said: "A question was raised about the promotion of pedophilia, homosexuality, non-traditional relationships, and so on. Personally, I I believe that administrative responsibility is ineffective. If this is elevated to the rank of criminal responsibility, then we will save our generation, which should not grow up focused on pedophilia and non-traditional relationships."
And although Russian medicine officially adopts the international classifier of diseases (ICD-10), in which homosexuality is not a disease, this does not prevent representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from considering homosexuality a deviation - on a par with pedophilia.
Law against gay propaganda
The criminal article for sodomy was abolished in Russia in 1993. And in 2013, the State Duma passed a law establishing administrative liability for gay propaganda among children in the form of a fine. It can range from 50 thousand to 1 million rubles.
Recent cases include the case of Evdokia Romanova, a Samara activist. Two years ago, the girl reposted links from The Guardian and BuzzFeed publications on LGBT topics to Facebook and Vkontakte social networks. On July 26, 2017, she received a call from a district police officer who summoned her to the police department to testify in the case of a man whom the girl had never heard of in her life. Despite the suspicious reason for the call, the girl came to the department, where she was charged with "gay propaganda". The girl admitted to DW that law enforcement officers even threatened her husband, an Austrian citizen, with deportation from Russia. Romanova involved the media and the human rights organization Amnesty International in the case, but the fine for "gay propaganda" could not be avoided. On October 19, a Samara court fined Romanova 50,000 rubles for reposting articles.
What is "homosexual propaganda"
Damir Gainutdinov, a lawyer for the Agora human rights organization, believes that there are no criteria for evaluating propaganda in Russian law, so government agencies have to "get out." From the wording of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, it follows that "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" is the dissemination of information that can harm health, moral development and form distorted ideas about the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional marital relations among minors.
“Roughly speaking, one cannot talk about the normality of LGBT people, at least in the presence of minors,” Gainutdinov interprets the law.
In support of this bill, Roskomnadzor conducted its own research, which it published under the title "The concept of information security for children." It cites an example of how published statistics on adoption by homosexual and heterosexual couples "give children and adolescents the idea that a homosexual couple can do parenting just as well as a heterosexual couple." According to Roskomnadzor, such information can affect the self-identity of a teenager and is equated with propaganda.
Tanya Lokshina, program director of the Moscow Bureau of Human Rights Watch, believes that there are many legislative acts in Russia with "vague" wording. But there is no vagueness in the law "on gay propaganda". "Almost any public positive coverage of LGBT people, relationships can be regarded as propaganda. Theoretically, this law can be applied to many people. But it is applied selectively," said DW Lokshina.
Violation of the rights of citizens of the Russian Federation
In June 2017, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) found the Russian law of 2013 discriminatory, and also pointed out that it violates articles of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, namely Article 10 (“Freedom of Speech”) and Article 4 ( "Prohibition of Discrimination").
The prerequisite for such a decision was the appeal to the ECHR of three Russians - activists of the LGBT movement: Nikolai Baev, Alexei Kiselev and Nikolai Alekseev. All three were held accountable for promoting "non-traditional" relations in Russia. The ECtHR decided to pay them compensation in the amount of 50,000 euros. The Ministry of Justice of Russia expressed its disagreement with the decision of the ECtHR and promised to appeal it. In case of non-execution of the decision of the ECtHR, Russia faces fines and a damaged reputation.
Lokshina believes that in this case, the Russian Federation has only one way out - to abandon the law on "propaganda of non-traditional relations." However, the activist does not exclude that Russia will only pay compensation to the victims, and leave the law.
The goal is self-censorship
There are not many precedents for the application of the law. Damir Gainutdinov told DW that 14 people have been prosecuted in the Russian Federation since the article was published. The lawyer explained that there is discrimination against LGBT people in Russia, but the authorities are not yet ready to take responsibility for this.
Context
"Law enforcement officers are more focused on extremism, and mass legalized persecution of LGBT people is hardly necessary in terms of image," Gainutdinov believes. According to human rights activist Tanya Lokshina, the relatively small number of precedents is due to selective law enforcement in Russia. Its purpose is to create the effect of "self-censorship". People understand that if it happened to someone, it can happen to them.
Lokshina said that while such laws are being discussed and adopted, the number of attacks on LGBT activists in Russia is growing. Anyone who dares to support the ideology or LGBT events can simply be beaten. “When a state adopts a law that actually states that people who are members of the LGBT community are second-class people and are harmful to society, this encourages the growth of homophobic sentiments. On the other hand, this gives a sense of impunity to aggressive and radical homophobes. Therefore, being LGBT- being an activist today is not safe," says Lokshina.

“On Amendments to Article 5 of the Federal Law “On the Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development” and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in order to protect children from information that promotes the denial of traditional family values.”
In the press and discussions on information resources, the named law is referred to more briefly and, in my opinion, incorrectly: "the law on the prohibition of propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among children." If we are to arbitrarily abbreviate the name of the legal document, then it would be more correct: "the law on the protection of children from the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations."
This short text law is a very striking legal document in terms of the existing legislative norms to which it relates, both in the domestic legislation of Russia and in international law, and in particular in the convention law of the Council of Europe.
Moreover, in the adopted law, its focus on a merciful attitude towards the participants in legal relations is noticeable, because of which (but not for the sake of which) this law was adopted, - (a term introduced into the legal lexicon by the Council of Europe).
In other words, for persons (people) of non-traditional sexual orientation, this law is a real gift from the Russian state, and people who have not reached the age of majority (children), the law protects from complex and not always clear information regarding their physiological and mental development.
In addition, ordinary people, who are not fanatically obsessed with the problems of their own sexual orientation, or rather, with the problems of their own sexual perversion, from the moment Law No. sexual orientation, since this function was legally assumed by the state, actually freeing fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, etc. from uttering “hate speeches” and possible “hate crimes” (subparagraphs A, B of Chapter 1 of the Appendix to the Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe CM/RES (2010)5).
So, what is the inner strength and what are the favorable consequences of Federal Law No. 135-FZ?
Federal Law No. 135-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the “Law”) was adopted unanimously by the State Duma of the Russian Federation on June 11, 2013, approved unanimously by the Federation Council of the Russian Federation on June 26, 2013 and signed without delay (three days later) by the President of the Russian Federation on June 29, 2013.
Note that between 26 and 29 June 2013, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted Resolution No. Doc. 13223 of June 27, 2013 (only those who were present voted - a minority of all PACE members), which, in particular, states that prejudices against LGBT people are widespread in society; the Resolution calls for the Russian Federation to promote equality among people. This document also states that the ban on LGBT propaganda by the Russian Federation would be contrary to the legal obligations of Russia, only it is not clear to whom, but probably to the European Union. This PACE resolution does not say anything about children, about the rights of children, about propaganda among children of perverted sexual relations that take place between some adults.
Considering the adopted Law both in temporal chronology and in textual richness, it would be appropriate and even necessary to draw parallels with PACE Resolution 13223.
But before starting to consider the significance of the Law, the following obvious facts related to the adoption of the Law should be recorded:
– consideration and adoption of the Law took place with maximum efficiency, due to the urgent need for its adoption;
- The law was adopted with the full unanimity of all the power and political forces of the country, and this fact clearly indicates the democratic nature of the adopted document;
– the unanimous adoption of the Law allows us to say that there are practically no prejudices against LGBT people in Russian society, one can even say that they do not exist at all. Russian society, in the person of its legitimate state bodies, by the adopted Law, confirmed and fixed in law that people who, among other things, are addicted to perverted sexual relations with each other, regardless of their own gender, live in the territory under Russian law. These people, who are called LGBT persons in the legal terminology of the European Union, are to such an extent devotees in the field of sexual perversion that they want all other citizens of Russia to know about their “unique-amazing” lifestyle and join them at the first opportunity. What prejudices can there be? Murder will out.
The adopted law, firstly, de jure confirmed the presence of LGBT people in Russian society and recognized their existence as a certain group; secondly, the Law did not prohibit LGBT people from engaging in activities among their own kind; thirdly, it did not prohibit LGBT people from promoting their perverted lifestyle among the adult population of the country. European LGBT leaders should be happy with such a democratic law.
The text of the Law fully complies with the provisions of PACE Resolution 13223 of June 27, 2013, namely: The Law indicates the absence of prejudice towards LGBT persons in Russia and, on the contrary, confirms the presence of LGBT persons in Russia without any infringement of their private and public rights on grounds of sexual perversion; The law affirms the equality of LGBT persons with other citizens of the Russian Federation in everything, including responsibility for promoting non-traditional sexual relations among minors under Art. 6.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. A father and mother with many children and two sodomists are equally responsible for promoting non-traditional sexual relations among minors. This is the equality of all people, which PACE Resolution 13223 calls for. The Law also shows that LGBT propaganda among the adult population in the Russian Federation is not prohibited, LGBT persons have the full right to promote non-traditional sexual relations among adult citizens of Russia. They can start propaganda immediately, starting from the territories of the North Caucasian Federal District and gradually moving towards the Far Eastern Federal District. And in order to taste the results of such propaganda among adult citizens of Russia to a greater extent, they should start, for example, with the fathers of large families, with veterans of the Great Patriotic War, with paratroopers or marines.
Moreover, neither in the PACE Resolution nor in the Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe CM/RES (2010)5) no requirements are made to the Russian Federation distribute information aimed at the formation of non-traditional sexual attitudes among minors, the attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relations, a distorted idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations.
Thus, the Law fully complies with the obligations of the Russian Federation to the European Union, and was also adopted taking into account all the concerns of PACE, set out in Resolution No. Doc. 13223 dated June 27, 2013.
Having briefly reviewed the compliance of the adopted Law with the legal documents of the Council of Europe, which are the most challenging for the current Russian legislation in terms of excessive emphasis in these documents on, a few words should be said about the main focus and internal strength of the June Law.
The subject composition, which covers the adopted Law, is as follows: firstly, minor citizens of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as “children”); secondly, people (irrespective of the citizenship of the Russian Federation) who want to promote non-traditional sexual relations among underage citizens of the Russian Federation; thirdly, people (regardless of the citizenship of the Russian Federation) who do not have the desire and purpose to promote non-traditional sexual relations among underage citizens of the Russian Federation, and, finally, the Russian state represented by its competent authorities and administration.
Children - who are they? People who are least experienced in the affairs of adults of any orientation and most unprotected from the influence of the affairs of the adult part of humanity.
Any child above and more any adult - for the reason that he stands above the temptations and temptations that the world offers to an adult independent and free person and in which this adult person digs and chooses something for himself or rejects. Within the framework of human life activity, children see only what adults offer and/or impose on them, and not only close relatives, but also people from TV, from a monitor, a screen in a cinema, etc.
A minor, against his will, does not understand many things that are obvious to an adult, sometimes in quotation marks. Misunderstanding is the natural state of the child, from which he will naturally emerge, becoming an adult individual.
A person in imperfect years in the words that come from adults hears with complete faith only what an adult puts into this word. An LGBT person or stage seducer can pour so much beauty and attractiveness into the capacious word “Love” that the child will not notice the poison with which this word will be filled for the most part.
Temptation is not terrible for an adult, if he is reasonable, but temptation is deadly for a child, because he takes everything on faith, not having the full ability to reason and evaluate, and this state of his is innate.
Who believes that there is nothing higher than Love in the world, having replaced the name of Love with sexual depravity, but without speaking about it directly, is it not an act of apex hatred and malice towards this seduced child?
Try in the legal terms of the Council of Europe to answer the question of whether the parents and relatives of the seduced child have natural (not established by legal law) rights to use “hate speeches” and / or “hate crimes” against the seducer (seducers) of their child. I am sure that any father or mother who loves their child is ready in their thoughts to put a stone around the neck of an LGBT propagandist and send them together (both the stone and the face) into the depths of the sea. A terrible prospect for everyone. The child is seduced, the father and mother are in a state of hatred for another person, the propagandist-seducer is "drowned". Who is celebrating???
The adopted law 135-FZ resolved this difficult situation, and not in the harsh form of the Law of Human Conscience, for which a millstone around the neck is the best fate for a seducer-libertine, but in a mild form of monetary fines or short gatherings in a cell along with other people, among which, by the way, the Law did not prohibit LGBT propaganda.
The state has assumed the burden of communicating with LGBT people who wish to promote their way of life among minors. Since the adoption of the law, it is now enough for a father and mother to call the competent state body and notify the employee about the fact of propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations by certain persons in one place or another. Moreover, and this is the most important thing, now the father and mother of a minor do not need to torture themselves with hatred for the poor LGBT propagandist, and they can direct the released energy to search for and show the whole world people who lead the development of the temptations of sexual perversion among healthy people (adults and children). Non-traditional sexual relations are the gradual death of mankind, woe to the world. The people who are leading the development of unproductive sexual relations in the world - they are leading, using power, money and other means - you need to know personally. Through whom the temptation of sexual perversion comes into the world and into the souls of people, it is necessary to find, describe, demonstrate publicly, but not judge by one's own judgment.
The law speaks of minors as a single whole community. Any minor in Russia should not be exposed to the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations. There are no exceptions.
How is it with adults under the established legal provisions?
The law divides them into two (hopefully unequal) parts: propagandists of non-traditional sexual relations (hereinafter - NSO) among minors and non-propaganda. Both LGBT people and non-LGBT people can voluntarily or unwittingly act as NSO propagandists and non-propagandists.
People living a normal, natural life, the law freed from the use of sexual perversions suppressing propaganda based on hostile attitudes towards LGBT people. At the forefront is now not hostility or hatred, but the violation of the law. In this fact, the most important significance of the Law. In mortal combat, a saber is always better than a fist.
This suppression will now be dealt with by the state at the suggestion of any interested persons. It should be noted that the state, by adopting Law No. 135-FZ, did not legally prevent LGBT people from engaging in non-compliance with each other, but in our opinion - debauchery.
Therefore, the condemnation of LGBT people only because they live a perverted sex life in a circle of their own kind, from the standpoint of the current Russian legislation, is unacceptable. Their actions in their own circle of like-minded people are not subject to the legal norms of the state.
In connection with the adoption of the law normal - not sexually perverted - people should not fall into condemnation of the way of life of sodomites, but everything must be done to prevent them from taking their rubbish out of their huts. To do this, it is necessary to constantly and promptly notify government agencies of all known facts of propaganda that denies traditional family values.
It is imperative that there be judicial practice in this category of cases, as it will contribute to the development and improvement of legislation in this area of human relations. If the judicial practice is extensive, then the problem is great and more serious laws need to be passed and the healthy part of the population should be mobilized to counter the expansion of the influence of LGBT people. If judicial practice is insignificant, then this fact will objectively testify to the insignificant number of LGBT people in Russia and thus will contribute to more productive legal communication on this issue with the European Union in terms of the senselessness and uselessness of discussing the problems of LGBT people at a high level of interstate communication.
In conclusion, I would like to sum up the main results of the legal progress that has taken place in Russian legislation.
Firstly, the Law does not contradict the legal interpretations and wishes of the documents of the Council of Europe. The law does not give rise to those who are looking for a reason to accuse the Russian Federation of non-compliance with the legal guidelines of the European Union on formal grounds. And if you sort things out in the legal field, then now it is better to do it within the framework of the legal terminology used in the legal acts of the European Union, gradually creating your own terminology. The adopted Law laid the foundation for this process. The Council of Europe is still cautious in terms of legal terms and qualifications, but that's for now.
Secondly, the Law laid the foundation for the development of a legislative framework that protects minors from propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations in Russia.
Obviously, this is only the first timid step towards countering the threat posed by LGBT people to all people. The step is timid, cautious, but very correctly set in legal terms. It is urgent to work out our internal legal position in this area of relations. It is a legal position based on the interests and preferences of Russian society.
Thirdly, the Law protects LGBT people living or staying in Russia from excessive hostility towards them from the democratic majority of Russians, provided that they do not share their miserable and ugly experience of sexual perversion with underage citizens of Russia.
The law has been passed. Will it protect children from the temptations of perverted forms of sexual debauchery? Of course not. The law is only an assistant in resisting seducers, and adult healthy people can resist them within the framework of the current legislation of Russia.
“Woe to the world from temptations, for temptations must come; but woe to that person through whom the temptation comes, ”these words, spoken almost 2000 years ago from, were addressed to both seducers and those who oppose seducers.
I am on the side of those who will resist the seducers, using all methods not prohibited by Russian law.
I dare to suggest that the modern humane or even inhumane legislation of any country in the world will not award the depraved seducers of children with execution by drowning with a millstone around their necks, and therefore the “confidants of debauchery” can only thank the Russian state for such a kind attitude towards their persons, expressed in the adoption of Law No. 135-FZ, and slowly begin preparations for the Court. And he's waiting...
