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

[Olia Prokopenko]

In addition to what was mentioned before I would recommend Nadezhda
Durova's *Cavalry Maiden *(excerpts); Marina Tsvetaeva's early poems, to
complement Parnok's poetry and biography;  Mikhail Kuzmin's poems; Simon
Karlinsky's *Sexual Labirynth of Nikolai Gogol*; Valery Todorovsky's 1998
film *The Land of the Deaf*.
