Groups affiliated with far-right Ukrainian nationalists have launched online campaigns threatening LGBT activists after an LGBT rights march was attacked on Saturday.
“For the first time I am afraid for my and my boyfriend’s lives,” LGBT activist Dmitry Pikakhchi told BuzzFeed News in an e-mail on Monday. “Considering the number of these posts, the number of participants [of the group] and the radicalism — I think that the danger is more than real.”
