activity. In contrast to a conciliatory character of AVEN's attitude to the LGBT community, Nesterenko's efforts as an anti-sexual ideologist are not directed to looking for a fourth way between the three sexual orientations, viz., heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. He stresses in every way possible that the IAM is not a new variety of sexual minorities just as anti-fascists do not constitute a particular stream in fascism. When asked the question "But you're a minority, aren't you?" Nesterenko said: "If we take a psychiatric hospital, we find that medical staff is a minority there, too." In the middle of the 2000s, the moulding of the IAM attracted the attention of Russian and foreign mass media. Nesterenko was interviewed by journalists and bloggers, articles about his anti-sexual views appearing in central newspapers and magazines of Russia and the CIS. He was also featured on Russian television shows including TV programmes of Channel One and NTV. Nesterenko himself is not very happy with these shows. He says that they give a superficial and tendentious survey of the IAM. In his opinion, these attempts at a description of asexual people's ways of life (always with an obvious pro-sexual twist) are preconceived and not objective, with his real views being a bit distorted. Political and religious views Nesterenko describes himself as atheist, individualist, anti-communist, anti-Islamist and the opponent of any collectivist and dogmatic doctrines. He is consistent critic of anti-democratic regimes existed throughout Russian history, including Putin's Russia. Nesterenko was the participant of the Strategy-31 and one of the signers of the petition Putin Must Go. In 2010, Nesterenko published an article entitled "Exodus", where he expressed the view that Russia is constantly reproducing authoritarian and totalitarian regimes on its territory and any attempts at democratization of Russia are doomed to failure. The reason for this lies in the slavish mentality of the Russians who, in his view, proud of their disempowered position, worship tyrants and despotism (which did not preclude the possibility of deceiving the state for private purposes), hate peoples sharing the values of the human rights, the priority of the individual over the state, democracy and rule of law. Nesterenko believes that the Russians had freedom in the 1990s, but they gave up it and it was their deliberate choice. Nesterenko supports Georgia in the Russo-Georgian War and Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Views on race Nesterenko is an open proponent
