Four in 10 Russians think that LGBT fans will be attacked at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The build-up to this summer’s tournament has been overshadowed by fears that foreign supporters will face discrimination and violence. Gay fans were warned last year that holding hands at the World Cup would be a dangerous act.  And now it has been discovered that Russians think so too. According to a study commissioned by Bonus Code Bets, 39 percent said it was likely that someone would attack foreign LGBT people during the competition, which begins in June.
