Russian Medic Arrested for Alleged Satanism and Promoting LGBTQ Rights
Russian authorities have arrested a medic in Ulyanovsk, accused of Satanism and promoting same-sex relationships amidst a crackdown on LGBTQ rights.

Russia's conservative turn, influenced by the Orthodox Church, has intensified since 2022, including banning the international LGBTQ movement.
In Moscow, Russian authorities have arrested a medic in the Ulyanovsk region, accusing him of engaging in 'Satanism' and promoting same-sex relationships amidst a broader crackdown on LGBTQ rights.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) claims the individual advocated for these relationships as part of devil worship and influenced colleagues with promises of financial success and career advancement.
Since deploying troops to Ukraine in 2022, Russia has intensified its conservative shift, influenced by the Orthodox Church, resulting in increased legal actions against LGBTQ activities.
This arrest coincides with Russia's 2022 ban on the international LGBTQ movement, highlighting its declining rank as the least LGBTQ-friendly nation in Europe.
