How to say lesbian in Russian

Below is the word of our Russian Lesbian Dictionary that we will expand in new editions. If you know any more, please, contact us. But first some information about the language and where it is spoken.

Russian is an Indo-European language spoken by 278 million people in 17 countries and is official in 11 countries and territories.

As in the rest of the world, in the past homosexual behavior in Russia was frequent and accepted, in fact, the first law that prohibited something related was that of Peter the Great, in 1716, to prohibit exclusively anal intercourse in the army. At present Russia leads the group of pedophile countries, in which homosexual men are intentionally associated with pedophilia – nothing further from reality – and the protection of children is used to commit the greatest atrocities. Murders, assaults, and harassment are common in Russia, and the battle against diversity by its political class culminated in 2013 with the ban on homosexual propaganda, which has curtailed activism and increased violence against the LGBT community.
