Description | “Russia's parliament approved on Thursday a bill that widens a prohibition of "LGBT propaganda" and restricts the "demonstration" of LGBT behaviour, making any expression of an LGBT lifestyle almost impossible.” “Under the new law, which still needs the approval of the upper house of parliament and President Vladimir Putin, any action or information that is considered an attempt to promote homosexuality - whether in public, online, or in films, books or advertising - could incur a heavy fine.” After recognizing the LGBT movement as extremist in Russia, the government put more pressure on activists than on the private lives of LGBT people themselves. This has completely limited the freedom of expression for LGBT people. After recognizing LGBT as extremist, the demonstration of the LGBT flag became prohibited and because of this, you can get a fine of up to 2000 rubles or arrest for up to 15 days, and if you repeat the demonstration, criminal liability in the form of imprisonment for up to 4 years. However, imprisonment is applied only in case of demonstration of LGBT symbols, for everything else people are punished with fines. |

Reports (1)
- Status is not correct "well, lgbt is extremism, and extremism is a crime with jail as punishment (criminal code of russian federation, articles 282, 282.1, 282.2, 282.3, 282.4)
one-time demonstration of extremist symbols is a minor offence, fine or arrest as punishment. (two times per year makes it a crime, article 282.4). so far one person was arrested (https://zona.media/news/2024/01/31/serezhki) and one person got fined (https://zona.media/news/2024/02/05/perviy_protokol) but we are waiting for more cases
so "fine as punishment" is factually wrong because we already have one person arrested and kind of an understatement in general"
