Infamous gay-basher Maxim Martsinkevich is today in the custody of
Russian police after fleeing to Cuba, where local authorities promptly
deported him on the basis of fugitive warrants filed with Interpol by
Russia and Ukraine. Via
LGBTQ Nation:
A spokesperson for the Russian Federal Security services told LGBTQ Nation
that Maxim Sergeyevich Martsinkevich, also known by his street nickname
“Tesak” (or, the “Cleaver”) arrived at the Russian capital’s
Sheremetyevo Airport after a direct flight from Havana, and was
immediately detained by Russian law enforcement. Martsinkevich had been
formally charged and arrested in absentia on Dec. 13, 2013, by Moscow’s
Kuntsevskiy court. He is being held on charges of committing a crime
under Art. 282 of the Russian Criminal Code – incitement of hatred or
enmity and human dignity with violence – in connection with videos that
his anti-gay Russian group “Occupy Pedophilia” had posted online.
Martsinkevich fled Russia in November to the Ukraine, where he allegedly
attacked and physically abused a former contestant of the Ukrainian
franchise of the British talent competition, “The X Factor.” Yuvlena
Frolyak, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine
in Sevastopol, told LGBTQ Nation that her office had also issued an arrest warrant based on the criminal complaint filed by the victim.
Martsinkevich reportedly faces only three to five years in prison.
