OverviewThis book explores the everyday lives of 'lesbian' women in urban Russia. It explores changes and continuities by examining generational differences, and attends to regional variation by considering what 'lesbian' life looks like in different locations, problematising essentialist accounts of Russian sexualities and western-centric theorizations.

Conclusions: From Russian to (Post)Socialist SexualitiesReviewsThe 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.
