Europe: gays on the continental march (fragment)
In the new Russian Criminal Code which came into operation on
January 1 of this year, questions concerning sexual problematic
are covered wider in comparison with previous CC. It was
entered the article punishing for violent lesbianism (in particular
in previous Criminal Code the term "lesbianism" wasn't
mentioned in general); the age of the consent was lowed up to
16 years old as for homo- and for heterosexual relations.
