Feminist Activist Fined in Russia for LGBT Propaganda

A court in Russia's Tatarstan region on July 16 fined feminist activist Dina Nurm and her partner Anastasia Goncharenko 100,000 rubles ($1,130) each for propagating LGBT relations. The charge stemmed from the online photos they posted in which the court said they hug, kiss, and touch each other. The co-founder of the FemKyzlar feminist group, Nurm, called the court ruling politically motivated. Nurm and Goncharenko left Russia for Serbia in March. So-called LGBT propaganda has been banned in Russia since December 2022. For more details, you can read the original story by RFERL's IdelRealities by clicking here.
