PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
An engaging, scholarly portrait of post-perestroika gay culture. The author (who appears in male drag in one of many photographs in the book), interviews many men and women for this insightful study, which also takes into account her own observations, and a close look at contemporary books, plays, and music. Despite Yeltsin's de-crimilization of consensual sex between adults of the same sex in 1993, atitudes and behavios have been slow to change.
