Soviet workers of the 1920s discuss wet dreams. Miners of the 1960s are interested in petting. Arkhangelsk girls are tried for affairs with foreigners in the 1940s. The Moscow Festival of Youth and Students becomes a local sexual revolution. Based on archival materials, memoirs and medical records, historian Rustam Alexander has created a comprehensive picture of sexual life in the USSR. All the stories are united by a common plot about how abortion bans, lack of education and the imposition of sanctimonious puritanism lead to an increase in ignorance, violence and mortality. And how, at the same time, people find the courage within the totalitarian system to call for the liberalization of laws, sex education and open conversations about sexuality.
