description The goal of this article is to propose the reexamination of the accounts of the supposed benevolence of the Soviet government toward masculine homosexuality from 1917 to 1934. The decriminalization of sodomy in the early years of the Revolution did not mean that masculine homosexuality was not vulnerable to persecution. The myth of “Russian innocence” helped to construct an image of heterosexuality as the natural pattern of the social fabric.

Soviet Union. Homosexuality. State. The goal of this article is to propose the reexamination of the accounts of the supposed benevolence of the Soviet government toward masculine homosexuality from 1917 to 1934. The decriminalization of sodomy in the early years of the Revolution did not mean that masculine homosexuality was not vulnerable to persecution. The myth of “Russian innocence” helped to construct an image of heterosexuality as the natural pattern of the social fabric. O objetivo é propor o reexame das explicações sobre a suposta benevolência do governosoviético com relação à homossexualidade masculina de 1917 a 1934. A descriminalização dasodomia nos primeiros anos da Revolução não significava que a homossexualidade masculinanão era vulnerável à perseguição. O mito de “inocência russa” ajudava a construir a imagemda heterossexualidade como um padrão natural no tecido social.Palavras-chave:   Rússia. União Soviética. Homossexualidade.
