Sex and Love in the Russian Empire: A Lecture by Andrey Aksyonov

In March, Andrey Aksyonov comes to Belgrade - a popularizer of history, host of the podcasts "Sunset of the Empire" and "Time and Money," author of history books.

At the lecture, we will learn about famous love triangles and fatal women of the Silver Age, baths for homosexuals, abortions, the struggle of feminists against prostitution, and also:

👉 where and with whom did young people gain their first experience? 

👉 was there polygamy in the Russian Empire? 

👉 why did it seem that the institution of marriage was crumbling at the Sunset of the Empire? 

👉 and why in early USSR was sex first completely liberalized and then restricted again?
