The examination of these unique and little known documents contributes to our scant knowledge about the practices that many would call a Soviet proto-type of 'aversion therapy'. It also helps us understand the way homosexual people faced "queer dilemmas" of the self and how they sought to reconcile their queer desire with being Soviet. Rustam Alexander is a historian, specializing in Russia and the USSR, who received his PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of Red Closet: The Hidden History of Gay Oppression in the USSR (2023) and Regulating Homosexuality in Soviet Russia, 1956-91: A Different History (2021). His work on the history of Soviet homosexuality has been publishedin Slavic Review, Russian History, Europe-Asia Studies and other academic journals. 410 0$aGenders and Sexualities in History,$x2730-9487 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aSex 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aModern History 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a307.7662094709047 700 $aAlexander$b Rustam$01454895 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910768451403321 996 $aGay Lives and 'Aversion Therapy' in Brezhnev's Russia, 1964-1982$93657029 997 $aUNINA
