Head of Jews of Saint-Petersburg promised not to hunt gays and not to spit in their faces

"…We do not to spit in the faces and not hunting gays! We don’t think that homosexual is a disease, which comes apart from peoples will. Not without reason God punished Sodom, he wouldn’t punish people for having a disease" - said head of Jew community of Saint-Petersburg Mark Grubarg on press-conference in Synagogue of Saint-Petersburg.

It was his answer to students question Grubard and chief rabbi Menehem-Mendel Pevzner didn’t say a word about grooving reformation in the Judaism which doesn’t take gays as sinners. Many rabbis from different countries even marry gays and lesbians, including Moscow.

Survey: sex is at the bottom of Russian priorities

2007/10/15. According to a survey conducted by 'Levada-Center', Russians rate sexual problems in 20th place. Sexual and relationship problems, fashion, theatre and classical music are low interest subjects at the end of a list of 23 important life questions. These statistics are provided from a survey conducted by 'Levada Analytical Centre' from 21st-25th Sepember 2007. That survey shows that Russians are mostly interested in cinema, nature and news. Finding 'sex' in last place on the list is questionable. In the middle of last week the Deputy of the Minister of Culture, Pavel Pazigailo, author of the 'sex and pornography law', said that out of every 1000 letters received by the Ministry 900 demand limits to eroticism in the media. It's strange that on one hand sex is not interesting for Russians but on the other hand they want it removed from public media.
