It highlights transnational solidarity efforts against homophobia, transphobia and misogyny. It engages grass-roots activists and community organizers in a conversation with scholars, and shows that the lines between these categories are blurry and that queer theorists and analysts are to be found in all spheres of queer-feminist culture. It highlights that queer paradigms and theories are born in street protests, in community spaces, in private spheres, through art and culture as well as in academia, and that the different contexts speak to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis anthology presents some of the radical approaches that emerge at the intersection of activism, community organizing, art and academia, through transnational exchange, migration and collaborations. It is a celebration of alliances and solidarities between activism, community building, art, culture and academic knowledge production. Yet, the collected work also brings forward the necessary critique of Western hegemonies involved in contemporary queer-feminist solidarity activism and theory between the ‘East’ and ‘West.’ It is an important thinking about, thinking through and thinking in solidarity and the East\/West divide, setting new impulses to fight oppression in all its forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatharina Wiedlack, Saltanat Shoshanova\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eand Masha Godovannaya\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I Queering Paradigms, Challenging the Western Gaze\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatharina Wiedlack\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Fucking Solidarity: ‘Working Together’ Through\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(Un)pleasant Feelings 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVeda Popovici\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Solidarity in Illegality: How the Corrupt East Is Already\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ea Queer East 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNick Mayhew\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Queering Sodomy: A Challenge to ‘Traditional’ Sexual\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRelations in Russia 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003enadiya chushak, Yulia Serdyukova and Irina Tantsiura\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 ‘We’ll Be Fine, and You Just Hang in There’: A Queer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCritique of the Imperial Gaze in \u003ci\u003eGaycation \u003c\/i\u003eEpisode ‘Ukraine’ 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003evi \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II Local Queer Practices: Between Nationalistic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eand Global Discourses\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLesia Pagulich\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 New Lovers…?
