Russian Homophobia from Stalin to Sochi A book reading and discussion with author Dan Healey, Professor of Modern Russian History at the University of Oxford. Join us at Gay's the Word for what will be a fascinating, considered and vital discussion about the roots and politicization of Russian homophobia. A Free event. RSVP here on Facebook so we have a sense of numbers. Examining nine 'case histories' that reveal the origins and evolution of homophobic attitudes in modern Russia, Dan Healey argues that the nation's contemporary homophobia can be traced back to the particular experience of revolution, political terror and war its people endured after 1917.
