🇷🇺 LGBT Life in Russia - Bella Rapoport (SFG)

In this episode, we're gonna talk about one of the biggest countries in the world, and probably with one of the huge "community" there.We all probably know that it is not really easy to be a part of the LGBTQ community in Russia these days. But we do not always know how much. We are happy to host this episode one of the most active women in the Russian LGBTQ community. Bella Rapaport, who is a feminist, activist, and academic.Russia has more than 150 million people which means that statistically, the LGBTQ community is several million. Is the community in Russia united? Is it divided into sub-communities? Is it like in other countries, where life in big cities like Moscow is so different from life in the rest of the country? Is there communication between the different communities? Bella answers questions that show how, in the end, the life of the community in many countries and the community in Russia are not so different, although the political current affairs.The production of this episode came to reality thanks to the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Jerusalem; and thanks to our volunteers: Alon Rosenblum, Ariel Skop and Anna Talisman.
