莫斯科-据官方媒体报道,作为政府打击“性少数群体+宣传”的一部分,俄罗斯警方周六突击搜查了莫斯科市内的几家酒吧和夜总会。
俄罗斯塔斯社援引执法部门的消息称,智能手机、笔记本电脑和摄像机被没收,而俱乐部会员的证件被官员检查。
突袭来了整整一年自俄最高法院裁定“性少数群体+运动”应作为“极端组织”予以取缔后
这一决定是在俄罗斯对性少数群体+权利长达数十年的压制之后做出的,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京一直将“传统家庭价值观”吹捧为他执政四分之一世纪的基石。
社交媒体上分享的镜头似乎显示,当警察穿过莫斯科的Arma夜总会时,参加派对的人被警察命令躺在地板上。
据俄罗斯媒体报道,首都的Mono酒吧也成为目标。周六,在Telegram上的一篇帖子中,该俱乐部的管理层没有直接提及执法部门的一起事件,而是写道,“朋友们,我们对发生的事情感到非常抱歉。他们没有发现任何违禁物品。我们生活在这样的时代,但生活必须继续。”
据塔斯社报道,周六,警方还根据反同性恋法拘留了“男人旅行”旅行社的负责人。该通讯社称,这名48岁的男子涉嫌为“非传统性价值观的支持者”准备在俄罗斯新年假期访问埃及。
这些突袭反映了俄罗斯活动人士的担忧,他们警告称,尽管“性少数群体+运动”不是一个官方实体,但被俄罗斯政府定性为“极端分子”,可能会导致俄罗斯当局随意打击团体或个人。
最近的其他法律也对那些俄罗斯政府认为不符合该国“传统价值观”的人施加了压力。

Russian police raid Moscow nightclubs in LGBTQ+ crackdown
MOSCOW --Russian police raided several bars and nightclubs across Moscow on Saturday as part of the government’s crackdown on “LGBTQ+ propaganda,” state media reported.
Smartphones, laptops and video cameras were seized, while clubgoers had their documents inspected by officers, Russia’s Tass news agency said, citing sources in law enforcement.
The raids comeexactly a yearsince Russia’s Supreme Court ruled that the “LGBTQ+ movement” should be banned as an “extremist organization."
Its decision followed a decades-long crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights in Russia, where President Vladimir Putin has touted “traditional family values” as a cornerstone of his quarter-century in power.
Footage shared on social media appeared to show partygoers being ordered by police to lie on the floor as officers moved through Moscow’s Arma nightclub.
The capital’s Mono bar was also targeted, Russian media reported. In a post on Telegram on Saturday, the club’s management didn't directly reference an incident with law enforcement, but wrote, “Friends, we’re so sorry that what happened, happened. They didn’t find anything forbidden. We live in such times, but life must go on.”
Police also detained the head of the “Men Travel” tour agency on Saturday under anti-LGBT laws, Tass reported. The news agency said that the 48-year-old was suspected of preparing a trip for “the supporters of nontraditional sexual values” to visit Egypt over Russia’s New Year's holidays.
The raids mirror the concerns of Russian activists who warned that Moscow’s designation of the “LGBTQ+ movement” as “extremist” — despite it not being an official entity — could see Russian authorities crack down at will on groups or individuals.
Other recent laws have also served to put pressure on those that the Russian government believes aren't in line with the country’s “traditional values.”
On Nov. 23, Putinsigned into lawa billbanning the adoptionof Russian children by citizens of countries where gender-affirming care is legal.
The Kremlin leader also approved legislation that outlaws the spread of material thatencourages people not to have children.
