From Stalin to Putin: Russia's Long History of Homophobia

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-tv-rain Dan Healy is a Professor of History at Oxford University, prominent expert on gender and sexuality in Russia, and author of the book 'Russian Homophobia from Stalin to Sochi'. Healy sat down with TVRain to discuss the history of homophobia in Russia, both within the government and society at large. How did the more liberal period of the 1920s shift suddenly into a conversative crackdown in the 1930s? How the roots of Russian homophobia relate to prisons and prison culture? Why are there so few queer public figures in Russia? Find out in our fascinating conversation.
