In the beginning, I worked with a small selection of Russian print media: the Rossiyskaya Gazeta (the mouthpiece of the Russian government), the Novaya Gazeta (a media outlet of the opposition) and the Komsomolskaya Pravda (a popular tabloid). I collected and analysed editorials tackling LGBTQ issues and printed between 2012 and 2014. Some of the findings were presented at the conference 'Soviet and Post-Soviet Sexualities' (UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London UK) on 20 February 2015. The programme of the conference can be seen here.

Have a look at the slides of the presentation and let me know what you think.
