A groundbreaking, fascinating history of sex, sexuality and attitudes in Russia from Tsarist times through the communist period -- and the accompanying repression of the sexual lives of the Russians -- to the post-perestroika transformation. The author, a historian in Russia and its first "sexologist," draws on history, folklore, literature and sociological data derived from the author's surveys and interviews.  (RUS147, $25.50)
