ABSTRACT
This paper examines the reflection of queer sexuality in Russian literature and attempts to distinguish between Soviet and post-Soviet recurring narratives and trends. Its purpose is to give an overview of queer sexuality during Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. This paper reflects how this phenomenon was stifled during the Soviet era from the history of literature and again reappeared in post-Soviet Russia. It also explores the writers with their works who worked on this theme in the Soviet era and post-Soviet Russia. In addition, there are previously some notable works on this subject, for instance: "Out of the Blue: Russia's Hidden Gay Literature: An Anthology (1997) ed. by Kevin Moss, Introduction by Simon Karlinsky"; and "Russian Gay and Lesbian Literature by Brian James Baer, which was published in The Cambridge History of Gay and Lesbian Literature" (2014).
