Sex in the USSR (2025)
Overview
Frank accounts from eyewitnesses — a former police officer who worked with “night butterflies,” a Soviet prostitute, and a catering worker with over a hundred romantic stories behind her — are intertwined with analysis from experts such as historian Lev Lurye, sociologist Elena Zdravomyslova, and sex blogger Arina Kholina. They help the viewer better understand how the legacy of the Soviet era is reflected in the intimate lives of people today.
