Russian Leader Yeltsin Dies - 365Gay.com,
April 23, 2007
One of Yeltsin's first tasks was revising
human rights laws. Among the changes was the repeal of the old Soviet
Union sodomy law. Article 121 had made gay sex a criminal offense carrying
a sentence up to five years "deprivation of freedom." After
Yeltsin successfully repealed the law there have been a number of attempts
to reimpose it without success.
