what texts or film should I assign to address queer identities in Russia?

[Gabriella Safran]

Dear Colleagues,
For a class next year on Russian identity and alterity as explored in
literature and film over time, I'd like to include a week of discussion of
queer identity.  I'd like to assign something under 200 pages of reading
available in English translation, perhaps some stories, poems, a novella,
from any period (or a mix from various periods - Imperial, Soviet,
post-Soviet) as well as a film.  Any suggestions?
take care,
Gabriella
