This ground-breaking book challenges the widespread view that sex
and homosexuality were unmentionable in the USSR. The Khrushchev
and Brezhnev eras (1956-82) have remained obscure and unexplored
from this perspective. Drawing on previously undiscovered sources,
Alexander fills in this critical gap. The book reveals that from
1956 to 1991, doctors, educators, jurists and police officers
discussed homosexuality. At the heart of discussions were questions
which directly affected the lives of homosexual people in the USSR.
Was homosexuality a crime, disease or a normal variant of human
sexuality? Should lesbianism be criminalised? Could sex education
prevent homosexuality? What role did the GULAG and prisons play in
homosexuality across the USSR? These discussions often had
practical implications - doctors designed and offered medical
treatments for homosexuality in hospitals, and procedures and
medications were also used in prisons. This book is relevant to
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, Gender equality. --
