Summary/Abstract: Since the fall of Communism gays and lesbians in the former East Block have struggled with varying levels of success to realize gay pride demonstrations, such as are common in Berlin, Paris or London. In Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria Pride demonstrations have been met with intolerance and often, outright violence. However, nowhere – perhaps with the exception of Russia – has this been more extreme than in Serbia and in the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
