Abstract
The paper concerns the documentary Welcome to Chechnya (2020), made in response to the mass purge of gay men and women that started in the Chechen Republic in 2017. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the problem of LGBTQIA+ society in Russia and Chechnya and give a voice to the victims of discriminated minorities. In the face of the war in Ukraine, it seems more important than ever. It is done through presenting the legal situation of LGBTQIA+ in both countries, explaining possible causes of the lack of acceptance of homosexuality in Russia and Chechnya, clarifying the Kremlin’s point of view in the domain of homosexuality and explicating the reason for which artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the documentary.
这篇论文涉及纪录片《欢迎来到车臣》(Welcome to Chechnya, 2020),该片是对2017年车臣共和国开始的大规模清洗同性恋男女的回应。本文的主要目的是突出俄罗斯和车臣LGBTQIA+社会的问题,并为受歧视的少数群体的受害者发出声音。面对乌克兰的战争,这似乎比以往任何时候都更重要。通过介绍LGBTQIA+在两国的法律状况,解释俄罗斯和车臣不接受同性恋的可能原因,澄清克里姆林宫在同性恋领域的观点,并说明纪录片中使用人工智能(AI)的原因。
