Yeah, the Soviet Union wasn’t great for gay acceptance.
The Sovs were actually great at first. Moved Russia from a very backwards country on the matter to as open as France. Just didn't last - like so many things in the Soviet Union, it was not sustainably built on popular sentiment, and it could not resist a change in opinions from the ruling class (or rather, a change of rulers in the ruling class - hi Stalin).
