The meeting was held behind closed doors, with only a representative of the Ministry of Justice present. Journalists and listeners were only allowed in to hear the decision being announced.
According to Vverstka’s sources, the decision to recognize the “international public LGBT movement” as extremist and to ban the “international public movement of LGBT people” in Russia is part of the presidential election campaign; it should “help unite the electorate before the elections.”
Lawyers, in a conversation with Vorstka, recommended that representatives of the LGBT community delete accounts on social networks controlled by the Russian authorities (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and others), install a VPN and communicate on LGBT issues using it.
