Description
Prostitution in Imperial Russia was so tenacious that it survived not only the tsarist regime's most tumultuous years, but the Bolshevik revolution itself. This study examines how the state and society responded to the issue of prostitution - the attitides of prostitutes themselves, state regulation, societal reactions and attempts at reform. The book finds that prostitution and its regulation were integral to Russia's structures of gender, class and politics.
