Nikolai Alekseev - International Hero
Nikolai Alekseev is a Russian LGBT rights activist, lawyer and journalist. He is the founder of Moscow Pride, which is officially banned year after year. Together with his advocate group LGBT Human Rights Project, Gayrussia.ru, he has organized a large number of unauthorized public actions to defend the rights of sexual minorities in Russia.
Alekseev planned to hold a Gay Pride in Moscow in 2006 but knew that the mayor of Moscow would not allow such event in the city. He was arrested at the first Moscow Pride and shortly after that, he realized that it wouldn't be possible to change things in Russia just by writing about them. It was then that gay activism and working to bring changes for LGBT rights became his full time occupation.
The leading French gay and lesbian magazine Tetu called him "the most stubbornly persistent activist on the continent" In 2006 he received the ILGCN Grizzly Bear (Moscow), honouring outstanding and courageous efforts in the face of unusually fierce homophobia. He also received the GALHA Award (London), in recognition of his courage in challenging homophobia in Russia and beyond. In June 2008 The Advocate called him a "global pride warrior" and Alekseev also received the HERO Award (Los Angeles) for his attempts to stage Pride.
In 2009, he launched a campaign for same-sex marriage in Russia where he continues to push boundaries. On May 29, 2010, Moscow Pride claimed a success when members of the LGBT community marched 700 metres in 12 minutes with the rainbow flag flying. We are honoured to have Nikolai Alekseev as our International Hero.
