| Description | Before the federal ban, ten regions of Russia enacted laws prohibiting the "propaganda" of homosexuality to minors since 2006, starting with Ryazan. Bans were also reported in Bashkortostan, Krasnodar, Arkhangelsk, Kostroma, Magadan, Novosibirsk, Samara, Kaliningrad and St. Petersurg. The bans are widely believed to have been a response to attempts to hold the country's first pride parade in Moscow on May 27th, 2006, which featured violence against pride paradors by both homophobic demonstrators and the police. |
