The first full-length study of same-sex love in any period of
Russian or Soviet history, "Homosexual Desire in Revolutionary
Russia" investigates the private worlds of sexual dissidents during
the pivotal decades before and after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
Using records and archives available to researchers only since the
fall of Communism, Dan Healey 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. "Homosexual Desire in
Revolutionary Russia" reveals a world of ordinary Russians who
lived extraordinary lives and records the voices of a long-silenced
minority.
