Yaroslav Sirotkin

An LGBTQ+ activist from Yaroslavl. Left Russia after the outbreak of a full-scale war. In April 2022, he was included in the register of "foreign agents". In March 2024, it became known that he was put on the wanted list: as it turned out later, in a case of evading his duties as a foreign agent. In June 2025, it became known that a new case was opened against him - about participation in the activities of an extremist organisation. The law enforcers believe that the activist participated in the activities of a non-existent "international public LGBT movement", having posted 14 posts and videos in which they saw "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations", as well as "justification and involvement" in the activities of the movement.
