| Description | Soviet workers in the 1920s discuss nocturnal emissions. Miners in the 1960s ask about petting. Young women in Arkhangelsk are put on trial for relationships with foreigners in the 1940s. The Moscow World Festival of Youth and Students becomes a local sexual revolution. Drawing on archival materials, memoirs, and medical records, historian Rustam Alexander has created a wide-ranging portrait of sexual life in the USSR. What unites all these stories is a common narrative about how abortion bans, the absence of sex education, and the imposition of prudish puritanism led to growing ignorance, violence, and mortality. And about how, even under these conditions, people found the courage within a totalitarian system to call for the liberalisation of laws, sex education, and open conversations about sexuality. |
