LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

LGBTQ+ symbols and advocacy criminalised as "extremism" — discretion essential

Local law: "International LGBT movement" designated extremist (2023). Participation up to 6 years prison, displaying LGBTQ+ symbols up to 4; foreigners fined and deported under the propaganda law.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Foreign Visa and Mastercard cards do not work in Russia — bring enough cash (USD/EUR) for the whole trip.
Hilton, Marriott and Hyatt left Russia in 2022; large central hotels used to foreign guests are the safer choice.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.
