| Description | Russia’s Criminal Code Article 63(1)(e) and Article 282 allow for stricter punishment for crimes committed out of hatred based on nationality, race, religion, or social group. The “social group” provision can theoretically apply to anyone, including LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite this, Russian authorities even FSB keeps attacking and discriminate LGBTQ+ people in recent years. With no explicit mention of LGBTQ+ in the criminal code for hate crime protection, and active attacks allowed by the government, there are de facto no protections. |
