      abstract = {This edited collection offers in-depth perspectives into  the emergence and development of LGBTQ+ movements in  Central and Eastern Europe, including analysis of Estonia,  Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. The book  examines various issues faced by local LGBTQ+ activists, as  well as the tactics and strategies which they develop and  adopt. The contributors discuss the applicability of  Western ideas and concepts to the post-socialist context,  considering their ability to fully tackle local nuances and  complexities with regards to sexuality and, thus, the  dynamics of LGBTQ+ activism. The volume examines  differences in the domestic policies of these countries and  the consequent effects on LGBTQ+ activism in the region. It  also offers important insights into the impact of Western  actors in promoting liberal democratic values in the  region, and ensuing political and social backlashes. LGBTQ+  Activism in Central and Eastern Europe will be of interest  to students and scholars across a range of disciplines,  including Gender and Sexuality Studies, Sociology,  Anthropology and Political Science. Radzhana Buyantueva is  a Teaching Assistant at the School of Politics, Newcastle  University, UK. Maryna Shevtsova is a Fulbright Scholar at  the Center for European Studies, University of Florida,  USA.},
