"We are aiming at a dialogue both with the readers and the authorities," Chernyavskaya said.
"If the deputies are unhappy with the magazine, I would like to talk to each of them face to face."
The magazine's only investor, Chernyavskaya said, is her best friend Maks Karpukhin, who works in the IT sector.
"Certainly, we hope to become a profitable publication eventually," Chernyavskaya said.
Its journalists currently have to work on the magazine part-time, when not busy with their main jobs.
The magazine is the third attempt to launch a lesbian-oriented publication in Russia, after VolgaVolga (2004) and almanac Pinx (2006-2011), according to the Gay.ru website.
Agens might even end up as the only glossy magazine targeting LGBT readers at all.
Russia's only glossy magazine for gay men, Kvir (a Russian transliteration from "queer"), a monthly launched in 2003, cut its publication to online-only starting this year.
