Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word sex in the subtitle encompasses both sexuality and gender; it does not encompass how historical subjects lived their intimate lives, but refers rather to the articulated ideas of the shapers of power. The author follows her themes from the pre-1905 period in Russia to the Revolution itself and its aftermath, casting new light on Russian social and cultural history and showing how the study of attitudes toward sex and gender can inform understanding of the political issues in any society.
