It highlights the International Gay and Lesbian Symposium and Film Festival held in July 1991, which marked a pivotal moment for public discussions on HIV-AIDS, culminating in the first public disclosure of HIV status by a Soviet citizen. The article argues that Soviet HIV-AIDS action was characterized by a blend of liberal and conservative elements, as activists sought to address the epidemic while navigating the stigma surrounding homosexuality and the inadequacies of state health care. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of transnational connections and citizen diplomacy in fostering collaboration between Soviet and North American activists, despite the inherent inequalities in resources and knowledge. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of the History of Sexuality is the property of and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
