Those who are “40-plus” will remember, with delightful detail, how “it” happened in their youth. They’ll recall sex without a separate apartment, nice underwear, pedicures, and perfume. And those who are “40-minus” will learn how their dads and moms, uncles and aunts—and even grandparents—loved, cheated, dated, and broke up. They’ll get acquainted with Soviet sexual mythology. They’ll understand why sex in the USSR was, one could say, completely free—just like education and medicine. Or very cheap—like utilities. But that didn’t stop either the joys or the dramas. Did you hear that in the USSR there was no sex? Oh, come on—listen! Exactly! Listen to the stories and essays by Denis Dragunsky, and a mysterious, funny, and exciting world of Soviet sex will open before you.
