The 38 pages booklet was published as part of the 5th annual International Queer Festival 2013 in St. Petersburg, and is written by art historian and member of Moscow feminist Group Nadia Plungian. It is devoted to LGBT history in Russia and the Soviet Union - from medicalization and social isolation to the development of subcultures and the fight for political rights.
We are happy to announce the English edition, which you can read online or take a copy of the printed version at the events organized by "Coming Out" LGBT organization and its partners.
The booklet includes personal stories in the larger historical contexts, facts unknown to most, and rare photos. It is the first step aimed at making queer issues part of mainstream historical research in Russia.
