A killer was acquitted in Russia earlier this month, even though he stabbed a gay man who later bled to death. Roman Yedalov left a gay club in Moscow with his partner shortly before receiving a knife to the heart.
The 47 year-old was attacked by Anton Berezhnoi, a war veteran with a criminal record. Yedalov’s partner, Yevgeny Yefimov, said he had not experienced any violence or hostility until the incident outside the club last June.
