Principally of interest to students of urban studies and queer men's history in Russia.(Choice) Olga Petri takes a unique approach to the study of queerness in late Imperial Russia by examining the city of St. Petersburg as an important factor in shaping the sexual and romantic lives of queer men. This approach creates a highly nuanced study of the geography of the queer experience and the interaction among city officials, policemen, business owners, and queer men as they negotiated the extent to which homoerotic activity could take place in the public venues of the city. Her methodology offers a new way to approach research on subjects not readily visible in the historical record.(H-Net)
