Ua ʻōlelo aku nā mana o Rūsia e hoʻoweliweli ʻo Elton John AIDS Foundation i nā "waiwai kuʻuna" Lūkini i kēia pule i pāpā i ka hui philanthropic mai ka hana ʻana ma ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) he hui aloha i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Sir Elton John ma 1992 ma United States a ma 1993 ma United Kingdom. ʻO kāna huakaʻi ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā papahana hou no ka pale ʻana a me ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana i ka maʻi HIV, a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka mālama pololei a me nā lawelawe kākoʻo no nā poʻe e noho ana me ka maʻi HIV. I kēia lā, ua hoʻonui ke kumu ma mua o $ 565 miliona e hoʻolako i nā hana pili i ka HIV ma nā ʻāina he kanaiwa.
Aia ka Elton John AIDS Foundation ma waena o nā hui philanthropic he ʻumi ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa e pili ana i ka loaʻa kālā ʻana i nā hāʻawi HIV/AIDS. ʻO ia ka lua o ka mea kākoʻo philanthropic nui loa o nā kaiāulu LGBTQ + i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka maʻi HIV a paʻa i ke kūlana o ke alakaʻi kālā philanthropic ma ʻEulopa Hikina a me Central Asia.
I kēia pule, ua kapa ka Office of the Russian Prosecutor General i ka Elton John AIDS Foundation ma ke ʻano he "makemake ʻole" i loko o ka Russian Federation, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua hana ʻo ia i nā "hana hoʻolaha ʻino".
I loko o kahi ʻōlelo i hoʻopuka ʻia i kēia lā, ua hoʻopiʻi ka ʻoihana i ke aloha, i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka British pop icon, no ka "hoʻohana ʻana i nā hana kōkua kanaka ma ke ʻano he facade" e kākoʻo i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ke Komohana iā Russia. Hoʻohui ʻia, ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo ia e hoʻohaʻahaʻa nā hana mua pro-LGBTQ o ke kumu i nā waiwai ʻohana kuʻuna.
Ke hana nei ka Elton John AIDS Foundation ma ke ʻano he ʻelua hui i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ma UK a me US. Hāʻawi ka hui i kāna mau hana ma o ka loaʻa kālā i loaʻa mai nā hanana kūikawā, nā kumu kūʻai e pili ana i ke kumu, a me nā hāʻawi manawaleʻa mai nā poʻe, nā ʻoihana, nā kumu a me nā hui ʻoihana ʻoliʻoli e like me AEG Presents. ʻO ka misionari i haʻi ʻia e ke kumu, ʻo ia ke kākoʻo i nā poʻe e noho ana me ka maʻi AIDS a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka ʻae ʻana i nā keiki liʻiliʻi.
Ua loaʻa ʻo Sir Elton John, 78, he haku mele kaulana a he mea hoʻokani kaulana i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, he kāne male kāne, he naita i ka makahiki 1998 no ka mahalo ʻana i kāna mau mele mele a me kāna hana aloha.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kahi ʻōlelo mai Rūsia e "hana pū" ʻo ia me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻokau i nā waiwai moʻomeheu Western ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hōʻailona ʻia ʻana he "makemake ʻole" ka mea e pale ai i ka hui mai ka hana ʻana ma Rūsia a kau i nā hopena kānāwai i nā poʻe kūloko a me nā ʻoihana e pili ana i nā pili kālā me ia. Ua hōʻuluʻulu ke Kuhina Hoʻokolokolo i kahi papa inoa o nā hui like ʻole 200, e komo pū ana me nā hui e like me George Soros's Open Society Foundations, ka German Marshall Fund, kahi US think tank, a me ka Atlantic Council.
Ma kāna hōʻike makahiki no 2023, ua ʻike ʻo Elton John AIDS Foundation i nā hāʻawi hāʻawi ʻana ma Rūsia akā ʻaʻole i hōʻike i ka ʻike kikoʻī. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua koho ʻo Rūsia i ka "ʻoihana LGBT honua" ma ke ʻano he "hui extremist", e hoʻopiʻi ana iā ia no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka "hoʻopaʻapaʻa a me ka hoʻomana" i loko o ka lāhui.
