In light of Rsia's recent anti-gay legislatn, this uld be seen as another effort to erase the untry's gay history.

The Sexual Labyrth of Nikolai Gogol, by fellow gay Rsian Simon Karlsky, argued that evince of Gogol's homosexualy uld be found his works. In her review of the book for The New York Review of Books, Helen Muchnic laid out Karlsky's argument this way: His this, brief outle, is that Gogol, unable to be himself a world where homosexualy was proscribed, ncealed his clatns, attempted to supprs his emotns, projected his secretivens unnscly the ceptns, mystifitns, and symbols of his stori and plays, and ultimately broke down unr the stra, g his art and stroyg himself.
