Russia recognizes neither same-sex marriage nor any other form of civil union for same-sex couples. However, gay activists claim that a same-sex marriage contracted abroad can legally be recognized in Russia . The Russian legislation has a limited number of reasons which prevent the recognition of legal foreign marriages in Russia and a marriage entered into by two persons of the same sex is not one of them. ==Attitude of Russians towards same-sex marriage== According to the majority of the former republics of the Soviet Union, support for legal recognition of same-sex couples is very limited, and as of 2009, the government has yet to signal any signs of support for such legislation. In 2005, two polls have been conducted in Russia on the issue of same sex marriage. None of the research covered the support for civil union. While, they both give similar results they were conducted by different polling institutes: * In January, a poll conducted by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center showed that only 14% of Russians support same-sex marriage, with an additional 17% divided on the issue. In comparison, 59% of Russians oppose legal recognition of same-sex marriage, with 25% of respondents choosing "somewhat disagree" and an additional 34% of those polled "completely disagreed." An extra 10% of those polled chose "hard to answer." The poll did not cover support for civil unions. *In April, a public opinion poll ordered by the LGBT Human Rights Project Gayrussia.ru and realized by the Public Opinion Organization Levada Center showed that 73.4% of Russians are against the legalization of same-sex marriages against 14.3% supporting it. * Same sex partners of foreign diplomats are in practice granted accreditation as "family members" in Russia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recognition of same-sex unions in Russia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
