Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper explores the role of resources in LGBT activism in Russia. Russian LGBT activism emerged and developed after the fall of the Soviet Union with activists engaging in various activities such as organisation of cultural festivals, publication of press, litigation, and organisation of street events. However, the state’s pressure and negative public attitudes that intensified in the country in recent years make the work of LGBT activists increasingly complicated. The paper analyses Russian LGBT activism through a prism of social movement theories to examine resources available to Russian LGBT activists.
