Growing up gay in Russia

Jacob Green is the author and translator (from Russian) of the novel Truth with Ornaments. He contacted me to say that he recently published an autobiographical essay on his gay experience as a teenager during the formation of modern Russia in the early post-Soviet period of confusion and unrest. The essay is available on Amazon Kindle, and here is a link to a teaser on his website: https://mrjacobgreen.com/news/sex-and-the-suburbs.html.
