Gayrussia.ru is an LGBT rights organization based in Moscow, Russia. It has organised numerous public actions in Russia, the most famous being Moscow Pride and Slavic Pride. It also sponsored the documentary Moscow Pride '06. In November 2008, Project GayRussia.Ru extended its advocacy work into Belarus where it launched the Slavic Gay Pride movement with its local partner Gaybelarus.by.[2][3]

Its website www.gayrussia.ru features Russian LGBT news in English and World LGBT news in Russian.[4][5] It is also used to advertise the organization's campaigns and advocacy work.[6][7][8] The website www.gayrussia.ru is frequently read by those seeking news about LGBT rights issues in Russia.[9] As of March 2023, the website appears to be unreachable.

GayRussia.Ru tracked and revealed the homophobia of various Russian politicians and public figures, including the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov.[10] The page also gives practical advice for visiting Russia.
