  • yeah, decision became active in January, the news is that yesterday Rosfinmonitoring (Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation) added “LGBT movement” to its own list. I guess, it’s just bureaucratic things?

    For those who don’t know what Rosfinmonitoring is:

    The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation is a Federal Service that is aimed to collect and analyze information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. The organization also provides lists of people accused of terrorist or “extremist” activities and books.
