Nine regions in Russia, including St. Petersburg, provide for fines of up to $150,000 for distributing information on homosexuality to minors. On Dec. 19, Russia’s parliament will take up the issue of a nationwide ban. Medvedev has said in interviews that “not all relations between people can be regulated by law.”
