  • when Lenin legislated

    I get why people talk about this in this way, but I think it’s a mistake to ascribe intent to this when the decriminalization was a by product of doing away with the Tsarist legal code entirely. There are other instances of socialist states actively pursuing a policy in the direction of queer liberation (earlier and more comprehensive than even modern Western states), such as the GDR in the 80’s and Cuba with their new constitution, but unfortunately the Soviet Union was not one of them.
