A DOUBLE DEFEAT: CATASTROPHE FOR GAY EMANCIPATN GERMANY AND THE USSR

Historil rmatn about the reprsn of gay men the Soviet Unn the wake of the ernment's re-crimalisatn of homosexualy 1933, after s crimalisatn 1922. Trigger warng for sexual vlence. * gay soviet union *

Of urse, as wh any leftwg progrsive, I fully support LGBTQ Rights, and am probably one of a handful of Communists who has taken the trouble to march London’s Gay Pri Para. Inially, my rearch began wh Article 121 of the 1934 RSFSR Crimal Co, and s apparent associatn between male homosexualy and the od crime of paedophilia (a logil assumptn ma om an analysis of the wordg – albe English translatn).

I then read, (after the first draft of this say was published), a very tertg bgraphy of Len piled by Tamas Krsz, wh which he asserts that Len liberately ‘crimalised’ homosexualy, and that Stal later ‘crimalised’ . I mt say that after readg the Collected Works of both men, I have never enuntered any wrten texts (by eher of the lears) that specifilly addrsed or nsired the subject of ‘homosexualy’. I was able to e to this ncln, when I recently read the excellent article entled ‘Homosexualy the USSR’ (lked below) wrten by Alfonso Casal (and published on the Stal Society of North Ameri – SSNA – April, 2015).
