This 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.
