Good evening, everyone.

My name is Miami or Miami drag queen.

27 year old Sergei, alias Miami, performs at Three Monkeys, a gauge up in Moscow.

It's how he makes his living, even if the job clashes with a taboo in Russia.

I have a second face for face.

I'd It doesn't recognize me.

I did a good job on the makeup today under consideration.

She's that kind of woman.

Hello.

It's my second personality.

E.

Don't think it's an illness on stage at the club.

Drag Queen feels confident free and easy outside the club.

His videos provoke very different reactions.

E don't want to see that.

It makes me want to vomit.

Send him to the Army, not just for one year.

He ought to serve three a.

T.

One time you could have gotten your head Tauron off for that good.

Sergei works hard on his act.

Developing the choreography is himself step by step.

In 2015 he came to Moscow from a little village in western Russia.

He felt liberated, but only within the safe confines of the club.

With my wigs and high heels, I don't fit the image of the Russian mail.

E can't walk down the street.

Is Miami not because I don't want Thio, but because I'm afraid, afraid for my life on from my face.

There are good reasons to be afraid.

In Russia, it's very dangerous for a man to appear in public Wearing makeup and women's clothes.

As seen here in Moscow's metro, homophobic groups may quickly turned violent and debase their victims.

Sergei is well aware of the danger on Dnep.

Ver leaves the club in drag.

Even so much as posting about his act on the Internet without including an age limit could land him in court on charges of homosexual propaganda.

In such an environment, Sergei says it's dangerous to come out as gay, even to one's own family.

E.

I haven't had any contact with my father for about 10 years now.

Once I got drunk and messaged him saying, Father, I'm bisexual.

I'm not bisexual, I'm gay, but that's how I put it.

E thought it be easier for him.

E have nothing against girls, but I also like boys.

He's never called me since my stepmother called me from his telephone and said, What have you done?

Way raised you But Sergei doesn't intend to stay hidden away forever sewing his outfits in secret.

He has dreams of a grand career, and he's invested his creativity Onda about 11,000 euros in fabrics, makeup and shoes.

I'd like to be in the media and appearing in movies and shows so people won't be scared of us.

I'd like to be able to walk the streets of Miami and not have people yell things at me like your place is in the cemetery.

Such things frightened Sergei, but he's not giving Miami up.

He'll carry on as the dazzling drag queen, but maybe not in Russia, Sergei, his dreams of a life in another country.
