A neo-Nazi Russian group has taken to social media to publicise
images and videos of gay teenagers lured in on the promise of a date,
before torturing them and forcing them to come out to friends and family
on video.
Gay victims aged 12-16 are reportedly lured in by the group
Occupy-Pedofilyay, led by Maxim Martsinkevich, known under the nickname
“Cleaver”. Videos are then circulated of the victims being made to come out as
gay, with a view to parents, schools, or friends finding out about their
se*uality.
An uncensored image of one of the victims holding a s*x toy, covered
in red paint, and being held down, appeared on the Spectrum Human Rights
Alliance blog. The accompanying report also included a video of the torture of one
victim who was sprayed with urine in public, however YouTube has now
removed the video. A report from May notes that 19-year-old Alex Bulygin, a victim of
the ‘fighters with paedophiles’ branch of the group, committed suicide
after having his se*uality revealed online. It also quotes one member as having said: “If I had my way – I would kill them, but the state does not allow that.” The group was established with the intention of revealing the
identities of paedophiles, but after turning to adult gay men, it has
now begun targeting young teenagers. No police action has been taken against the incidents, despite
numerous victims, and that over 500 similar groups have been formed
across Russia using the VK social networking site. The upper house of the Russian Parliament voted last month to approve
both a bill banning adoption of Russian children by foreign same-s*x
couples and the nationwide anti-”propaganda” bill banning the promotion
of “non-traditional” relationships to minors. The bills, which have since been signed by President Vladimir Putin,
ban foreign same-s*x couples and unmarried individuals in countries
where same-s*x marriage is legal from adopting Russian children. Last week, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg urged Russia to protect
the rights of LGBT citizens following concerns about gay athletes and
spectators attending the 2014 Winter Olympics.
