The empirical base of this book is ethnographic research focussing on the experiences, practices and identities of non-heterosexual women in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. this work can be seen as one of the first representatives of a post-queer study of sexuality, incorporating the criticism of queer theory while maintaining the grounded footing of empirical sociology and a very invigorating one, indeed. (Judit Takacs, Intersections, Vol. 1, 2015) Engaging with intellectual traditions and empirical knowledge from Russia itself, this is a very important book at a poignant moment in post-Soviet Russia. - Sally Hines, University of Leeds, UK This highly readable book provides a fascinating insight into the everyday lives of lesbian and bisexual women in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. Stella makes a valuable contribution to the study of gender and sexuality under socialism and post-socialism. This is a timely book that will set significant new agendas in sexuality studies. - Jon Binnie, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
