Soviet Russia? An Essay. Edition No. 1

The book provides a closer look at the history of
LGBT community in Post-Soviet Russia.
Its main idea is to show how, in highly specific
curcumstances
of Perestroika and Post-perestroika transition
society, quick and broad
rise of this type of activism became possible, and
why these activities
were not continued, therefore the current generation
of LGBT activists would
have to begin to from the beginning. Varios aspest
of thw early movements' ideology,
self-presentation, and its strive to 'invent the
tradition' of homosexuality
in Russia are discussed as well as reasons and
mentality of the leaders and
acitivists of the movement.
The Preface is written by prof. Laurie Essig, the
author of milestone work 'Queer in Russia: a Story
of Self, Sex and Other'.
