about

To Chechnya With Love – Vol 1 is a collaboration of musicians and artists from across the U.K., U.S. & Europe, plus a special contribution from Russia. We stand united in support of LGBTQ+ people across the world, but particularly in Chechnya, in the wake of the campaign of violence against LGBTQ+ people that has swept through the Russian province in recent months.

In April 2017 Elena Milashina and Irina Gordienko of the Novaya Gazeta reported that a wave of anti-LGBT violence had begun to sweep through the deeply conservative Russian province of Chechnya, directed and encouraged by local government and including mass arrests, detainment in secret prisons, torture and murder. Hundreds have been detained and at least twenty six people have been killed, though it is extremely likely that extrajudicial 'honour' killings, encouraged by the state, have resulted in further unrecorded deaths.
