Description
Wisconsin Russia Project Postdoctoral Fellow Alexander Kondakov presents his research on hate crimes in Russia: The law against 'propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations' (homosexuality) has operated in Russia since 2013. It legitimized homophobia, causing a wave of increased homophobia resulting in hate crimes against people identified as lesbians, gay men or transgender. My research sought to identify the sources of data for further statistical generalization using trial narratives.
