Un'estate col fazzoletto da pionieri

È L'ESTATE DEL 1986 - una delle ultime per la gloriosa Unione Sovietica - quando Jura, sedici anni, arriva alla colonia per pionieri della Rondine. Ancora non sa che quelle settimane passate a giocare e nuotare nel fiume lo cambieranno per sempre. Non sa che, per la prima volta in vita sua, sta per innamorarsi: Volodja è l'educatore del suo reparto, di pochi anni più grande, e ricambia il sentimento di Jura. I due ragazzi scoprono nuove emozioni ed esplorano la propria sessualità, ma non osano portare avanti il rapporto: nell'Urss dal "radioso avvenire", infatti, le relazioni omosessuali sono punite con il carcere. Jura e Volodja decidono quindi di seppellire, letteralmente, il loro amor...

Wir Propagandisten

Gabriel Wolkenfelds Roman "Wir Propagandisten" entstand 2013 als literarische Reaktion auf die Verabschiedung des sogenannten Homo-Propaganda-Gesetzes in Russland. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte eines jungen Deutschen, der ein Jahr lang als Sprachlehrer in Jekaterinburg Land und Leute kennenlernt und dabei die Einführung des Gesetzes vor Ort mitbekommt. In klarer, doch assoziativer Sprache zeichnet der Text ein lebendiges Porträt des Alltags jenseits des Kremls, berichtet von Wodka-Gelagen in WG-Küchen, von schwulen Hinterhof-Partys, von zaghaftem Widerstand und geflüsterten Geständnissen, aber auch von der Angst, die sie auslösen. Und immer wieder von den lichten Momenten seligen Tr...

Un verano en el campamento

Una historia de amor prohibido que te llegará al corazón. El fenómeno que alcanzó los 500.000 ejemplares antes de ser censurado en Rusia. En el verano de 1986, Yura, un chico ucraniano de dieciséis años, llega al campamento La Golondrina, creyendo que tiene por delante unas semanas largas y aburridas. Aún no sabe que esas semanas jugando y nadando en el río lo cambiarán para siempre. No sabe que, por primera vez en su vida, está a punto de enamorarse de un chico ruso llamado Volodia, estudiante universitario de 18 años. Mientras organizan una obra de teatro, los dos se darán cuenta de que sienten algo mucho más profundo que una simple amistad. Pero esos sentimientos están prohibidos y nadie debe enterarse de ellos. Tras largos años sin verse, Yura se decidirá a encontrar a su primer amor. Con gran sensibilidad, Elena Malisova y Katerina Silvanova, de nacionalidad rusa y ucraniana respectivamente, han construido una emocionante historia de amor que ha causado un gran revuelo en un país en el que los libros LGTBI+ siguen siendo ilegales.

This star-crossed gay romance is a #1 bestselling TikTok sensation that took readers by storm, made international news, and catalyzed one of Russia’s largest-ever crackdowns on LGBTQ representation The year is 1986, and Yurka Konev, 16, has been sent off for another summer at Pioneer Camp. Impulsive, forthright, and unfairly branded as a troublemaker, he anticipates the weeks ahead of him with boredom and dread. But when he’s pushed into working on the camp’s theater production, he meets serious, thoughtful troop leader Volodya. Yurka finds himself drawn to the slightly older boy, and, surprisingly, Volodya seems to like him, too. The two boys grow closer and closer, and though both fe...

Neste romance, banido na Rússia e sucesso no BookTok, dois garotos vivem um relacionamento proibido na União Soviética dos anos 1980. Vinte anos depois de ter passado seu último verão no acampamento Andorinha, Iura decide voltar. Os tempos são outros: já não existe União Soviética, o muro de Berlim caiu, sua vida seguiu adiante. Então não é nenhuma surpresa que, ao chegar lá, ele só encontre ruínas. Ruínas repletas de memórias. Memórias daquele verão usando lenço vermelho no pescoço. O verão em que participou do clube de teatro — e até acabou gostando. Em que inventou histórias de terror para divertir as crianças mais novas. Em que passeou de barco e deitou sob a sombra do salgueiro. O verão em que conheceu Volódia, um rapaz certinho, educado e muito inteligente. O verão em que viveu seu primeiro amor. Talvez, enterrada ali em algum lugar, exista alguma pista que o leve até Volódia. Afinal, algumas pessoas marcam nossa vida para sempre — e, mesmo décadas depois, ainda vale a pena lutar por elas.
