Vlod Tornovy, was sexually assaulted and murdered in Volgograd in Southern Russia for supposedly being gay. The brutality of the attack has shocked many people, and prompted Anton Krasovsky, a prominent Russian journalist and TV presenter to publically ‘come out’ as being gay himself as a gesture of courage.
Today at 10:30 GMT we will from Anton about the incident, and his decision to go public. We will also be hearing from Vitaly V. Milonov, who was instrumental in drafting some of Russia’s ‘anti-gay’ laws.
