- Status is not correct "Legal in Russia, Chechnya is independent region : During Czarist Russia, consensual same-sex sexual acts were criminalised under Article 995 of the Penal Code and punished with banishment to Siberia for up to 5 years. This provision was repealed after the October Revolution in 1917.
However, in 1934, sodomy was recriminalised with the amendment of Article 121 of the Penal Code of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1934), which stated that “sexual relations of a man with a man (sodomy)” were punishable with up to 5 years' imprisonment. In 1993, this provision was amended by Law No. 4901-1 (1993) decriminalising consensual acts between adults.
Between 1994 and 2000, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeriya claimed to be independent from the Russian Federation, especially after the August 1996 Peace Accords, which ended a 20-month armed conflict with Russia and deferred a decision on the final political status of Chechnya for five years. Although it was always regarded by the international community as part of Russia, the Chechen leadership insisted that the Chechen Republic-Ichkeriya was independent from Russian legal and governmental institutions. Secular courts were abolished during this period and a Supreme Sharia Court was installed. In this context, a new Sharia Criminal Code—Presidential Decree No. 82 (1996)—was enacted. This code punished consensual sodomy between men with flogging, caning and even death by stoning under Article 148. Other relevant provisions criminalised "indecent conduct" (Article 151), "insulting public morality" (Article 152), and "debauchery" (Article 154). Though these provisions have largely been removed under the current pro-Russian government of Chechnya, widespread repression, police targeting, and extrajudicial attacks have been reported in large numbers in recent years. A summary of the well-documented state-sponsored targeting of people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions in Chechnya is included in ILGA World's "Our Identities under Arrest" Report (2021) and the "Enforcement" section of this entry.
A peculiar case was reported by Russian media in August 2022, when two young men from Moscow were arrested for at least two months for allegedly having had consensual sex inside their house and being seen through a window by two minors. Although the young men denied that they were engaging in any sexual contact, they were accused of committing "violent sexual acts", an offence under Article 132 of the Criminal Code, which is aggravated when the victims are minors. They face the possibility of a 20-year prison sentence.
On 30 November 2023, the Supreme Court of Russia decided to label the “international LGBT movement” as “extremist”, following a lawsuit filed by Russia’s Ministry of Justice (for more information, please check the section on "Freedom of Expression").

Description | Homosexuality became legal in Russia in 1993. Now at the moment homosexuality is legal except 1 region Though its illegal in Chechnya (punishable by caning on the first two offence and execution on the third offence). For other mods stop changing this as it clearly says its illegal in Chechnya | Homosexuality became legal in Russia in 1993. Now at the moment homosexuality is legal except 1 region Though its illegal in Chechnya (punishable by caning on the first two offence and execution on the third offence). Why put "depends on the region" if it is illegal in just one region out of 85, and then it is illegal in practice, and not officially in law, since Chechnya is part of Russia and all laws apply to Chechnya. STOP CHANGING IT! |
