In Queer in Russia Laurie Essig examines the for-
mation of gay identity and community in the
former Soviet Union. As a sociological field-
worker, she began her research duringthe late
1980s, before any kind of public queer identity
existed in that country. After a decade of con-
ducting interviews, as well as observing and
analyzing plays, books, pop music, and graf-
fiti, Essig presents the first sustained study of
how and why there was no Soviet gay commu-
nity oreven gay identity before perestroika and
assesses the degree to which this situation
has—or has not—changed.
While male homosexual acts were crimin-
alized in Russia before 1993, women attracted
to women were policed by the medical commu-
nity, which defined them not as criminals but
as diseased persons potentially cured by drug therapy or transsexual surgery. After
describing accounts of pre-perestroika persecution, Essig examines the more recent
state of sexual identities in Russia. Although the fall of communism brought new
freedom to Russian queers, there are still no signs of a mass movement forming
around the issue, and few identify themselves as lesbians or gay men, even when
they are involved in same-sex relations. Essigdoes reveal, however, vibrant manifes-
tations of gay life found at the local level—in restaurants, discos, clubs, and cruis-
ing strips, in newspapers, journals, literature, and the theater. Concluding with a
powerful exploration ofthe surprising affinities between some of Russia’s most promi-
nent nationalists and its queers, Queer in Russia fills a gap in both Russian and cul-
tural studies.
