Russia issues first verdict for "LGBT movement": club employees receive 2 to 7 years in penal colony

Russia has heard the first criminal case after the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized the "LGBT movement" as extremist in November 2023.

The Central District Court of Orenburg has issued the first real sentences in Russia in a criminal case concerning involvement in the "international public LGBT movement," which Russian authorities have recognized as extremist. Three employees of the local bar Pose have been punished with imprisonment under the article on organizing and participating in the activities of an extremist organization.

The club owner, 37-year-old Vyacheslav Khasanov, received 7 years in a penal colony. The club administrator, 30-year-old Diana Kamilyanova, received 6 years and 3 months in a penal colony. The 23-year-old art director, Alexander Klimov, received 2 years and 3 months in a penal colony.

All three convicted individuals were banned from working in the entertainment and public catering sectors for a period of 2 to 3 years.

The case was heard in a closed session.

According to the investigation, the defendants knew about the ban but continued to hold "public events aimed at promoting non-traditional sexual relations" in the establishment.

Club Pose had been operating since 2021. After the introduction of Russian laws against LGBT, the establishment changed its positioning and called itself a "parody bar-theater."
