Igor Viktorovich Kochetkov (born 13 May 1970) is a Russian gay rights activist who heads the Russian LGBT Network.
Kochetkov has been active in the opposition to the 2013 Russian law that bans promotion of homosexuality to minors.[1] He has blamed the law for legitimizing and increasing violence against gays.[2][3]
In September 2013, Kochetkov along with other Russian human rights activists met with US President Barack Obama in Saint Petersburg.[4]
Along with Alexey Davydov he was named one of the world's 100 top thinkers in 2013 by the magazine Foreign Policy "for fighting Russia's state-sponsored homophobia".[3]
Kochetkov was along with Frank Mugisha, Sunil Babu Pant and ILGA nominated for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian Labour Parliamentarians Anette Trettebergstuen and Håkon Haugli.[5]
