Here’s everything you need to know about Chechnya’s ‘gay purge’

Back in 2017, it was reported by a respected Russian newspaper that around 100 gay men had been rounded up by police and detained in what is widely being referred to as a modern-day ‘concentration camp’.

The men were held “in connection with their non-traditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such”.

Human Rights Watch later confirmed the horrific news, explaining that the information was “consistent” with reports they’d received from “numerous trusted sources” on the ground in Russia.

Here we break down what has happened so far.

What is happening in Chechnya?

Detainees who were either released or managed to escape have since told Novaya Gazeta of the trauma they faced while imprisoned. Some say they were tortured, while others say they saw prisoners beaten to death.

One victim said: “Several times a day we were taken out and beaten. Their aim was to find out your circle of contacts – in their minds if you are a suspect then your circle of contacts are all gay.

“They kept our phones switched on. Any man who calls or texts is a new target.”

Describing how he was beaten with a plastic pipe, he added: “They always hit us below the waist – on the thighs, the buttocks, the loins. They said we were dogs who had no right to life.”

A 30-year-old man named Ruslan came forward to speak of his experience during the anti-gay purge, and revealed that he was outed to his family when his daughter-in-law discovered text messages he had sent his boyfriend on his phone.

His own family swiftly took away his passport and phone, and locked him in his room for a month.

“In Chechnya there was a big cleansing of gays. People working for Kadyrov (Chechnya’s leader) would target one (gay) person and through blackmail and beating would force him to surrender others,” Ruslan told BBC Russian.

“Some were caught, taken to the cellars, beaten violently, others were not found. Relatives sometimes did not even look for them, as they wanted to wash away the shame.”

Who are the most high profile casualties? 

Russian singer Zelim Bakaev has been missing since 8 August, 2017. He was reportedly bundled into a car back after landing in Grozny – Chechnya’s capital city – to attend his sister’s wedding.

Activists came together in New York City last August to mark the anniversary of his one year disappearance.

Since his disappearance, both the Chechen and Russian authorities have denied knowing anything about his whereabouts.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov later claimed that Zelim was killed by his own family for being gay, but that has been denied by his closest ones.

Last year, chilling reports of young gay men being murdered by their own family members also came to fruition, as authorities told parents to kill them – or they’ll do it themselves. 

A 17-year-old male was reportedly murdered by his own uncle, after being pushed from his 9th floor balcony.

What is Russia doing about this? 

The Kremlin and Chechen government have both repeatedly denied allegations that gay men are being detained and tortured in the region, but Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov has never kept it a secret that he is staunchly anti-LGBTQ.

Kadyrov publicly declared that he wanted all LGBT+ people in the country to be eliminated by May 26 2018, which marked the start of Muslim holiday, Ramadan.

He has maintained that all of the reports were false because in Chechnya, “we don’t have these kinds of people here.”

Alvi Karimov, the spokesperson for Ramzan Kadyrov, told reporters that the reports were “complete lies and don’t have an ounce of truth in them.”

Dzhambulat Umarov, the Minister of National Policy described the reports as “fantasy” and added: “Considering the fact that they [gay people] have sick imaginations to start from, I am not surprised that they can write nonsense like that.”

How have the international community reacted? 

The Human Rights Campaign have given repeated calls for Donald Trump to publicly condemned the Russian Republic’s actions.

They want the US president to “end his deafening silence” on ongoing crimes against people suspected of being LGBTQ in the country. “These atrocities constitute crimes against humanity… None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice,” they have previously put in a letter to the White House.

“Russia has refused to launch an investigation, and those who carried out these abuses face no repercussions for their actions. You must condemn these crimes against humanity and call on Russia to conduct an investigation and hold the perpetrators accountable.”

It took the US Senate seven months to condemn the brutal purge that is still continuing today.

“The Senate condemns the violence and persecution in Chechnya and calls on Chechen officials to immediately cease the abduction, detention, and torture of individuals on the basis of their actual or suspected sexual orientation, and hold accountable all those involved in perpetrating such abuses,” they said.

It adds that the US government should “continue to condemn the violence and persecution in Chechnya, demand the release of individuals wrongfully detained, and identify those individuals whose involvement in this violence qualifies for the imposition of sanctions.”

In a letter to Labour MEP Seb Dance, UK Prime Minister Theresa May responded to a plea from a cross-party group of politicians and human rights organisations by acknowledging the “deeply troubling issue” facing the LGBTQ community.

She wrote: “Officials from our Embassy in Moscow have raised our concerns at a senior level with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and are exploring possibilities for a joint démarche with our international partners in the country.

“Urgent action is also being taken to explore how best to provide support to the LGBT+ community in the region.”

Writing on Twitter, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt wrote: “If this is true, it is totally unacceptable & Russian authorities must not only stop this from happening but hold those responsible to account.”

Foreign Office Minister, Sir Alan Duncan, went further, saying: “The persecution of LGBT people in Chechnya is utterly appalling.

“Recent reports indicate that two people have died in custody following torture, and a further 40 remain in detention – all simply for their sexual orientation. Persecution for being LGBT, in any country in the world, is abhorrent.

“The Russian authorities must protect their people from these human rights abuses, and conduct a credible investigation into these reports immediately. There should be no climate of impunity for those who commit these abuses.

“We and the international community have repeatedly called for the Russian Government to conduct an investigation and hold those responsible for human rights abuses in Chechnya to account, including through the 2018 OSCE Moscow Mechanism.”

Sir Alan finished by saying: “All decent people very much hope that Chechnya can put an end to this sort of barbaric persecution and step into the modern world of civility and tolerance.”

Certain countries – such as Canada, France –  have accepted asylum seekers from Chechnya.

LGBTQ rights organisation SOS Homophobie first welcomed queer people from the country back in 2017. The organisation’s president, Joël Deumier, confirmed that it’s the start of a longer process to get LGBT+ people from the region to safety.

“The first gay Chechen refugee arrived on French land,” Joël Deumier told FranceInfo. “So France has started to welcome Chechen refugees. This is going to continue.”

Canada gave asylum to 22 gay refugees in Chechnya in the same year. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has been at the forefront of the operation, and the refugees are now residing in Canadian cities.

Has the LGBTQ crackdown started again? 

Last month, two more people were reported to have been killed and a further 40 have been detained.

Both men and women have been detained in this new wave of persecution, The Russian LGBT Network have said, following the detention of an administrator for a group for LGBTQ people on the social network VKontakte.

Much like the first wave of persecution back in 2017, police threatened the victims’ families with violence if they spoken out about the crackdown. Authorities have also reportedly taken documents from the prisoners so they cannot escape the region while being held at a jail in the town of Argun.

Igor Kochetkov – programme director for the Russian LGBT Network – said: “The persecution of men and women suspected of homosexuality never ceased. The only thing that has changed is its scale.”

How can I help? 

Non-governmental queer rights organisation, The Russian LGBT Network, have been in effect since 2006 to help protect those who face discrimination for their sexuality and gender identity. You can donate via their website here.

Remember, if you have a voice or a platform and there are rallies, protests, demonstrations or fundraisers taking place, help promote, turn up, and be an active part of keeping the conversation at the forefront of people’s minds.

Activist groups like Voices 4, All Out and The Peter Tatchell Foundation are routinely organising protest events, so give them a follow and help them spread the word.

Good bye tumblr.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Here here I agree wholeheartedly fuck you Nazis

Hey Nazis and Nazi-lovers!!!

Yeah, I’m talkin’ to you! That’s right – you, fuckhead!!!

I like to keep this blog a pretty happy place, and a sexy one, someplace to celebrate the awesomeness of being a man into other men, and to bond with other guys like me. Gay, bi, straight, women, whatever – it’s all good. It’s great to be gay, and free, and to be able to embrace and celebrate it together.

But that freedom comes with a price. The price of remembering how far we’ve come through history to be as free as we are. The price of honoring those who came before us, who lived and loved and died so that we might be free. The price of remaining vigilant, so that these tenuous freedoms we can enjoy now are still here for the generations that follow us.

And so, Nazi and/or Nazi-lover, I am talking to you directly right now. Yes, everyone has their fetishes, their paraphilia, their weird hardwired attractions they can neither explain nor unwind. We all understand that. But those of you out there just rollin’ around in it, making blogs that glorify Nazism as gay men, as a sexual scene… you do know one of the central Nazi missions was to discriminate against us, to harass us, to hound us onto the trains and into the camps, where they worked our brothers and sisters to death, or else just straight-up murdered them, right?

You do know that, yes? If not… let me remind you.

You see this? This is at Buchenwald, one of the Nazi concentration camps. This isn’t “fake news” – I took this photo, this week. I saw it in person. I touched this memorial stone with my own hands. I felt the horror of all who died there. I saw with *my own fucking eyes* how the Nazis did it all – to us, to the Jews, to the Roma, to the disabled and elderly, to their prisoners of war.

I saw the cellar of the crematorium. I saw the meathooks where they hung our kind, and so many others, alive and struggling and terrified, and then strangled them to death with their bare hands, before they put them on the elevator up to the ovens to be burned into ashes, then poured out on the ground. Just because they could. Just because they wanted to. Just because they *liked it*.

This is just Buchenwald. This is a story that was repeated at Nazi death camps across Germany, and Europe. Thousands of lives of people like us, ended just because the Nazis felt like it.

And this is something you want to celebrate. Something you want to *promote*, even. Something maybe you don’t want to think too hard about, all the ugly details like these, because you just like the leather and the armbands and the insignias and the Aryanness of it all. Because you’re pathetic, yet you also feel emboldened enough to celebrate and promote it.

I hope you can’t *not* think about a dying human being just like you, being straight-up murdered for systematic kicks, just for being who they are. Or about the canisters of ashes, piled up in a small room in the crematorium, no name, no honor, no dignity. Or the countless other lives and bodies blown away in the wind, from where they were dumped heedlessly on the ground.

I wish I could stop thinking about all of this, but I can’t. What I saw this week is going to haunt me for a long time to come. And now, I put this curse on you too, Nazi-lover.

You’re as bad as they are. I REJECT you. This blog – fuck, this *planet* – is no place for you. Get help. Get your head right.

And get the fuck outta here.

—Sincerely,

The Management.
