Rainbow NewsGorbachev's Granddaugther: Gays in Russia Are Not Just Intimidated, They Are Murdered
25 Aug. 2013
Ksenia, who is the chief-editor of the fashion magazine "L'Officiel Russia" and resides in Moscow and Berlin, in her interview for Die Welt called on Europe to stop looking at Russia through "rose-coloured glasses". According to her opinion, "the situation in Russia is much worse than Germans believe...".
As an example Ksenia gave the situation around the LGBT rights. "Nowadays gays in Russia are not just intimidated, they are murdered. While a democratic state must not admit any acts of murder on the grounds of colour of their hair, race or sexual orientation, in Russia everything is totally not so".
The Russian authorities in recent weeks are desperately trying to persuade the international community that the LGBT rights issue in this country is not that alarming as many human-rights watch dogs and gay activists portray. But for the last year a numbers of reports made by the UN and the Council of Europe as well as many other given by independent experts, e.g. the Amnesty International, showed substantial problems in the area of gay rights in Russia.
These reassurances from the Russian Foreign Office are not enough now that everyone is able to follow links to Vkontakte social network and watch hundreds of evidences of uncontrollable violence towards homosexual teens. A wave of outrage has been caused by the reports on crackdown by "Orthodox activists" of gay actions in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Voronezh and other Russian cities.
