| The book looks at the new sexual reality in Central, Eastern, and Southeast Europe after the fall of communism. It presents a kind of discussion of sexual identities, sexual politics, and gender arrangements that was often censored and rarely discussed openly before the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1987. Authors from a variety of disciplines examine how the changes caused by rapid economic and social transformation have affected human sexuality and if those changes can generate the social tolerance necessary to produce a well-rooted democracy. This theoretical and empirical body of work to sexuality in (post)transitional countries, Sexuality and Gender in Postcommunist Eastern Europe and Russia examines the effects of the profound social transformation taking place in the former Soviet Union. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, the book addresses vital issues of this transformation, including gender relations, gender roles and sex norms in transition, sexual representations in the media, patterns of adult sexual behavior, gay and lesbian issues, sex trafficking, health risks, and sex education. The book also presents a critical examination of whether the fall of communism has, in fact, induced changes in sexuality and gender relations. The contributors examine changes in sex and gender in countries in transition, including the negative consequences of Serbias "state-directed non-development" during the 1990s, the causes and consequences of trafficking in women from the Russian Federation, the debate over human rights for sexual minorities in Romania, the effects of two Yugoslavian films released in the 1990s that feature transgender characters, sexualities in transition in Croatia, problems created by changes in sexual behavior among urban Russian adolescents and the social and legal state of lesbians in Slovenia.
