This presentation will explore the sexuality and gender dynamics in Post-Soviet Russian culture, drawing on representative examples from film and media. Two main questions will be addressed: 1) how does the Soviet legacy shape these dynamics and does it mark them as uniquely Russian?; and 2) are these dynamics similar to or different from the Western cultural sexualities and gender developments in the last two-three decades, as the West is generally understood as a cultural space separated from the Soviet Union by the Iron Curtain? My discussion will be guided by post-communist theory and cultural psychoanalysis.
