Yuri Leonidovich Nesterenko (Russian: Юрий Леонидович Нестеренко; born October 9, 1972) is a Russian writer.
He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics with an Honors degree in 1995. He asked the USA for political asylum in 2010, which was granted to him in 2011.
Nesterenko has written numerous books published by the leading publishing companies of Russia (Eksmo, AST, and others). Also he has contributed to many magazines, including Nauka i Zhizn, Khimiya i Zhizn – XXI Vek, Mir Fantastiki, Кругозор (Mental Outlook). (Poland) published a Polish translation of Nesterenko's story Despair in 2011.
Having a Master degree in computer science, Nesterenko has created several non-commercial computer games, including FIDO. This game was very popular in the nineties.
While a proponent of antisexualism, he has become one of the founders of the International Antisexual Movement (IAM). The IAM is consciously and purposely orientated on liquidating the sexual relations throughout the world. 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 does not speak in the name of religious belief in the virtue of chastity. According to him, sexual drive is tantamount to drug addiction because a common addictive element is present in the two behaviours, the only difference being in the formation of psychoactive substances within an addict’s organism itself. 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 by a well-done job, artwork, intellectual communication. But emotions that originate in primitive instincts and fog the mind really must not exist.
