The Russian government has signed a number of international agreements on human rights. Included here are the rights of homosexuals and Lesbians. Some Russian authorities, the Mayor of Moscow in particular, have guaranteed an endless procession of Russian cases to the Court of Human rights. And they will lose every one. If the Russian government doesn't agree with the treatise they should abrogate them. If they still agree they should implement them. What they have currently is a position that serves their enemies well. It serves all those who say that the Russian government is not to be trusted to implement any treaty. That agreements with Russia are not worth the paper they are printed on.
