George Yury Right

George Yury Right (born Yuri Leonidovich Nesterenko; Юрий Леонидович Нестеренко; born October 9, 1972) is a Russian American writer and antisexual activist.

This game was very popular in the 1990's. He was also one of the script co-authors of several commercial Russian games, including Space Rangers and Space Rangers 2.

Nesterenko is a proponent of antisexualism and is one of the founders of the International Antisexual Movement (IAM).

The IAM advocates for ending sexual relations throughout the world.

He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics with an honors degree in 1995.

It was Yuri Nesterenko who established the first Antisexual Society in Russia (1995) Since then, he has taken a leading role in the IAM.

The main venue of the society is the "Anti-sexual Stronghold" website created by Nesterenko.

The group accepts the minimum amount of sexual activity necessary to maintain population, but the founder hasn't updated it in quite a while.

Nesterenko is an atheist and his pro-Chastity views do not come from religious belief.

According to him, sexual drive is similar to drug addiction because a common addictive element is present in the two behaviours.

Nesterenko calls upon every person to make use of his own reason and to see that it is necessary to reject sexual relations.

Any sex other than that strictly for reproduction places animal passions over the development of the highest powers human possesses.

That is why Nesterenko opposes it.

He is not opposed to all emotions.

There is nothing bad in feeling satisfaction from, for instance, a well-done job, either admiring or producing artwork, or intellectual communication.

But emotions that originate in primitive instincts and fog the mind really must not exist.

L. Nesterenko's attitude to David Jay presents special interest.

In the middle of the 2000s, the moulding of the IAM attracted the attention of Russian and foreign mass media.

Nesterenko was interviewed by journalists and bloggers, articles about his anti-sexual views appearing in central newspapers and magazines of Russia and the CIS.

He was also featured on Russian television shows including TV programmes of Channel One and NTV.

Nesterenko himself is not very happy with these shows.

His own ideas had already been formed in the main when AVEN's website was launched in 2002.

On the whole he highly appreciates Jay's work, ascribing to him the credit of having set forth with the idea that sexual indifference is not in need of medical treatment.

Later, however, there began to be serious disagreements.

Nesterenko's stance is, first of all, much more radical than Jay's. When comparing the IAM and asexual people, Russian journalists give particular emphasis to the difference that the ideological position of the IAM's leader is militantly anti-sexual.

Nesterenko not only considers asexuality a normal state, but also condemns all the forms of hedonistic sexual activity.

In contrast to a conciliatory character of AVEN's attitude to the LGBT community, Nesterenko's efforts as an anti-sexual ideologist are not directed to looking for a fourth way between the three sexual orientations, viz., heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.

He stresses in every way possible that the IAM is not a new variety of sexual minorities just as anti-fascists do not constitute a particular stream in fascism.

When asked the question "But you're a minority, aren't you?"

Nesterenko said: "If we take a psychiatric hospital, we find that medical staff is a minority there, too."

Also, his fiction was published in the collections "Russian Fantasy – 2006" ("Русская фантастика – 2006"), "Fantasy – 2007" ("Фэнтези – 2007"), "Russian Fantasy – 2007" ("Русская фантастика – 2007"), "Russian Fantasy Action – 2007" ("Русский фантастический боевик – 2007"), "Fantasy 2008" ("Фэнтези 2008"), "Russian Fantasy – 2008" ("Русская фантастика – 2008"), "Russian Fantasy – 2009" ("Русская фантастика – 2009"), "Russian Fantasy – 2010" ("Русская фантастика – 2010"), "Fantasy – 2010" ("Фэнтези – 2010"), "Russian Fantasy – 2011" ("Русская фантастика – 2011"; publishing house Eksmo), "Steps Into the Unknown – 2011" ("Kroki w nieznane – 2011"; "Solaris", Poland), "The Burden of the Prophet" ("Бремя пророка"; publishing house "Млечный Путь" – "Milky Way"), "The Programmer and the Butterfly" ("Программист и бабочка"; publishing house "Млечный Путь" – "Milky Way"), "The Gentle Embrace of the Iron Virgin" ("Нежные объятия железной девы"; publishing house "Млечный Путь" – "Milky Way"), "We Love the Earth" ("Me armastame Maad" – "Fantaasia", Estonia).

He asked the US for political asylum in 2010, which was granted to him in 2011.

After receiving United States citizenship, he changed his name to George Yury Right.
