Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia (originally released by BBC Worldwide[1] and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom[2][3] under the title Cold Fear: Gay Life In Russia) is a 2014 HBO documentary film by Ben Steele on anti-gay violence in Russia. It is narrated by Matt Bomer.[4]

The documentary film was originally shown in the United Kingdom at the time of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[5] In the lead-up to the Games, many Western nations criticised Russia's stance on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights, in particular the anti-"gay propaganda" law which passed in June 2013, with some calling for a boycott of the Olympic Games.[6] At this time, violent attacks on gay men by extremist groups such as Occupy Pedophilia, which was profiled in Steele's documentary, reached their height.[7][2][3] These abused included online humiliation and beatings on camera (sometimes to the point of unconsciousness), with these videos being uploaded online in order to humiliate the victim.[3][5][8] Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a United States government-funded media organisation, noted that "the brutality of these videos played a significant role in galvanizing broad international support for Russia's beleaguered LGBT community".[9]
