Situated at the intersection of Visual Studies and Queer Studies and working from different theoretical and disciplinary perspectives, the contributors expose and explore the queer imagery and sensibilities in works of visual art produced in pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet contexts and beneath the surface of conventional histories of Russian and Soviet art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNote on Transliteration\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian James Baer and Yevgeniy Fiks \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One.
