- Case Summary
Deti-404 (Children-404) is an online forum created by Elena Klimova. This is a platform for LGBTI teens to share their problems and offer support to each other. The government alleged that the website contained propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships to minors. The Court agreed and ruled that Elena Klimova violated the Russian Administrative Code, art. 6.21, which prohibits propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships to minors. The Court imposed a fine of RUB 50,000 on Elena Klimova. The appellate court upheld the decision. Information was extracted from an official court decision that Elena Klimova requested GFoE not share publicly due to private information contained with the decision. Some of the information in this report was derived from secondary sources.
