Author	Alexander R.
Title	Zakrytye. Zhizn' gomoseksualov v SSSR
Description	Rustam Alexander’s book The Closeted explores the lives of homosexual men in the Soviet Union, where consensual sexual relations between men were criminalised from 1934 and could lead to imprisonment, denunciation, blackmail, and complete social isolation. Drawing on archival materials from Russia and Ukraine, the author traces the lives of men from very different social backgrounds — from workers to famous performers, from psychiatric patients to defendants in criminal cases — who were forced to hide themselves, find ways to survive underground, or try to explain their own lives to a society unable to speak about sexuality except through the language of prohibition, illness, and punishment.
