The Dorogomilovsky Court in Moscow has issued Lev Mironov a fine for kissing a statue of Metro builders at Elektrozavodskaya station “in front of underage friends.” Activatica drew attention to the case.
The young man was found guilty under the article on “LGBT propaganda” (Part 2, Article 6.21 of the Code of Administrative Offences). The amount of the fine is not specified, but the court decision states that “non-traditional” in this case consists of two elements: “not directed at a person; directed at a depiction of someone of the same gender.”
The video—where teenagers attack a Yandex courier, seize his box of food, run out onto the road and kiss the monument—originally appeared on the “Pravye Highlights” Telegram channel.

The adoption of the “LGBT propaganda” law marked not only widespread censorship but also intensified repression against LGBTQ people and the organisations that support them. With the designation of the “International LGBT Movement” as an “extremist organisation,” this pressure has increased once again.
