Homosexual desire in Revolutionary Russia : the regulation of sexual and gender dissent
Dan Healey (Author)
This book investigates the private worlds of sexual dissidents during the pivotal decades before and after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. The author revisits the rich homosexual subcultures of St. Petersburg and Moscow, illustrating the ambiguous attitude of the late Tsarist regime and revolutionary rulers toward gay men and lesbians. This book reveals a world of ordinary Russians who lived extraordinary lives and records the voices of a long-silenced minority
