Meer over het boek

Focusing on the historical context of gay oppression in the USSR, the narrative unfolds around the 1934 sodomy laws enacted by Stalin, leading to the brutal persecution of homosexual men. Through compelling personal stories, it highlights individuals like a Scottish journalist fighting for his lover's freedom, a theatre student navigating a repressive environment, a courageous doctor in Siberia, and a beloved singer concealing his identity. These accounts illuminate the origins and persistence of systemic oppression, resonating with contemporary issues of homophobia under Putin's regime.
