Subject: [SEELANGS] Homosexuality in the Soviet Union

Hi everyone!
I have an oral exam coming up and think I am going to choose the topic of homosexuality in the the Soviet Union for the exam.  I was just curious if anyone might have any source recommendations (both for the legal situation and every day life).  Let me know if anything good comes to mind!
Best,
Ian
