It is the first criminal case of its kind since Russia’s Supreme Court outlawed the so-called “international LGBT movement” last November.
If found guilty, the defendants face up to ten years in jail.
Police raided the club, called Pose, in early March following a request from the local prosecutor.

The Press needs to stop calling it “Russia”. It’s just the next iteration of the Soviet Union. The CCCP with a facade of Democracy and freedom.
But it is just Russia. Vast parts of the former CCCP today are enjoying life without Russia.
That would be a bit silly given that it’s not a union of republics and there’s nothing soviet or socialist about Russia
