The Russian Striptease
The Soviet authorities did not like sex.
Discussion and expression of sexuality were strictly curbed; sexual dissidents were treated as harshly as political dissidents. But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia finds itself in the middle of a sex boom.
Erotica, strip shows and pornography proliferate, and Russian citizens can finally talk openly about their private lives.
Andrzej Fidyk 's film records the sexual revolution that came nearly 30 years late, with writers, painters, sculptors, strippers, prisoners, prostitutes and even rock stars talking about the opportunities and pitfalls of a new, sometimes chaotic way of life. Series editor Nigel Williams
