This work aims to analyse LGBT discourse in Russia conducted by
human rights non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The main
emphasis is given to deconstruction of subjectivities of the
discourse with the tools of Foucaultian and critical discourse
analyses. One of the most evident examples is concerned with
strategies employed by the NGOs to guarantee marriage opportunities
to homosexuals in Russia. It was also important to uncover the
meanings of discursive practices employed by the officials in their
discussion of gay and lesbian issues. In this regard, a brief
analysis of relevant legal norms and public policies is included in
the work. The role of state power turns out to be important in
organising and correcting the strategies of the NGOs so long as the
strategies are influenced by governmentality of the discourses. The
work may be useful to those who are interested in gay and lesbian
studies, contemporary situation with the issues in Russia and to
social scientists who employ discourse analysis in their work.
