{"product_id":"9783031458699","title":"Gay Lives and \"Aversion Therapy\" in Brezhnev's Russia, 1964-1982 (Genders and Sexualities in History)","description":"This book examines the autobiographies and diaries of Soviet homosexual men who underwent psychotherapy during the period from 1970 to 1980 under the guidance of Yan Goland, a psychiatrist-sexopathologist from Gorky. The examination of these unique and little known documents contributes to our scant knowledge about the practices that many would call a Soviet proto-type of 'aversion therapy'. It also helps us understand the way homosexual people faced \"queer dilemmas\" of the self and how they sought to reconcile their queer desire with being Soviet. 1 : Introduction.- 2 : Yan Goland and His 'Aversion Therapy'.- 3 : Leonid Bykov-An Autobiography.- 4 : Leonid Bykov-Diary.- 5 : Pavel Krotov-An Autobiography.- 6 : Mark Orlov-An Autobiography.- 7 : The Autobiography and Diary of Artem Smirnov.- 8 : Conclusion. \u003cb\u003eRustam Alexander\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian, specializing in Russia and the USSR, who received his PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia.
