Probably NSFW. From the same “Queer Russia” series as <a href="http://www.opendemocracy.net/od-russia/alyona-soiko/brokeback-in-belarus">Brokeback In Belarus</a>. And every bit as remarkable. A gay waiter in Gudermes tells all. “In the Chechen coterie there are few versatile men; lots of active guys, but they never let anyone fk them in the ass. These are <em>dzhigit</em> (macho) matters. If you fk someone in the ass, but don’t let anyone do it to you, then you’re still a <em>dzhigit</em>; and not a faggot” (3,660 words)
