“Hi guys, my name is Vlad and I live in Russia. You may find my lifestory, that I told here earlier. Recently a viral “anti gay propaganda” law passed in Russia and it leads to crackdowns and makes illegal even to say “gay” in public. Many world leaders took a stand for Russia, but common people are not silent too. My boyfriend and I took part in “Kiss on Earth” project and unexpectedly the photo with us was chosen for Nicola Formichetti’s Diesel Reboot! Probably Diesel team doesn’t even know, that two guys kissing in the picture are Russian, but they definitely did the right choice! Like it? Share it! And remember, that love always wins.”
