Rainbow NewsAfter 79 years of prosecution of gays ghost of its resurrection in State Duma
17 Dec. 2012
79 years ago the Soviet Union imposed a criminal prosecution of homosexuals and today the State Duma's Council has received a draft law #44554-6 "On amendments to the Code of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses" which wishes to impose the ban on so-called "homopropaganda" among minors. Contrary to the similar regional laws that are in effect in 9 Russian regions, this draft law is blind on propaganda of pedophilia. Following the proposal of Novosibirsk deputies, this federal draft law shall prohibit only homopropganda. The lobbyists are from the ruling party "United Russia".
It is symbolic that the State Duma deputies are introducing this draft law for the reading by the federal parliament on the very same day that for long 79 years had been shredding lives and breaking fate of hundred thousands of Soviet Union's citizens.
On December 17, 1933 the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee was published and on March 7, 1934 it became a law. Sodomy became a crime and that norm was introduced into Criminal codes of every Soviet republic. The article 121 of the Criminal code of the Russian Soviet Socialist Federative Republic accused with imprisonment up to 5 years. In case of sodomy committed with physical violence or threats or against a minor or committed by some one who had an official position - imprisonment up to 8 years.
Since December 17, 1933 the life of homosexuals within the territory of the Soviet Union grew worse every day. From 80 to 100 thousand gays were accused by the Communist regime and sent to jail and prison-camps.
During these days the Russian gay community continues the campaign against inhumane laws which were being lobbied through regional and federal parliaments under the cover of protection of morality and purity of childhood.
On December 19 representatives of LGBT organizations that could have been faced with closure in case of the adoption of the gay hate law on federal level, shall go out to the streets and make pickets in front of the Russian parliament. They shall come out to the Duma notwithstanding the fact that in Russia there were almost not a single political party that could have backed equal human rights for gays and lesbians.
