> under the reign of peter the great in the 18th, who introduced a wide range of reforms aimed at modernizing and westernizing russia, there was a ban on male homosexual activity, but only in military statutes for soldiers. in 1832, the criminal code included article 995, which stated that muzhelozhstvo (russian: yeoco, 'sodomy'), or men lying with men, was a criminal act punishable by exile to siberia for up to 5 years. men lying with men was interpreted by courts as meaning anal sex. application of the laws was rare, and the turn of the century found a relaxation of these laws and a general growing of tolerance and visibility. > in the wake of the october revolution, the bolshevik regime decriminalized homosexuality. the bolsheviks rewrote the constitution and "produced two criminal codes  in 1922 and 1926  and an article prohibiting homosexual sex was left off both."[29] the new communist party government removed the old laws regarding sexual relations, effectively legalising homosexual intercourse within russia, although it remained illegal in other territories of the soviet union, and the homosexuals in russia were still persecuted and sacked from their jobs.[29] under joseph stalin, the soviet union recriminalized homosexuality in a decree signed in 1933.[30] the new article 154-a,[11] later relocated to article 121 in 1961,[12] punished sexual relations between men with up to five years' imprisonment and led to several raids and arrests. russia was really gay before communist jews and sralin started to put them int gulags for that, but as you can see in any videos from russian army or moscow night clubs deep inside every russian man is a faggot in denial. faggotry in russia = being trad russian imperialist.
