| Description | In 1983, when HIV was identified, Soviet propaganda described it as “the virus of drug addicts and homosexuals” and blamed its creation on American intelligence services. Facts were suppressed, and contraception and sex education were inaccessible in a country where “there was no sex”. Outbreak is a documentary portrait of late Soviet society against the backdrop of an unfolding epidemic. The protagonists of this book are doctors, activists, scientists, journalists, and ordinary people who encountered a dangerous virus and understood it as a shared catastrophe from which no one could simply shut themselves off. In the end, HIV outlived the very state that had tried not to see it. Written by historian Irina Roldugina and cultural scholar Katerina Suverina, the book is based on archival sources, eyewitness accounts, and the press of the period. The text is accompanied by illustrations: posters, collages, and photographs, some of which are published here for the first time. |
