I told my friend about how much Goncharov 1973 has affected me, becoming my favourite movie, and she tried to search it up online. Then, all confused came back to me, asking why isn’t she finding it anywhere, and I think we need to adress this matter.

Goncharov is, despite all criticism, a queer piece of media. Not only that, but it has Russian queer characters, set in a yet Sovietic time-frame.

We all know the tensions between the East and the West during that time, screw it, the tensions are still alive even now. All the “homo propaganda” that Russia tries to silence and ridicule and blame on the West for all its gay people. And sadly, Goncharov 1973, is maybe one if its biggest victim.

Until just a few days, if you searched online Goncharov 1973 dir. Martin Scorsese you would have found nothing. The entire movie was removed from history, all scenes burned and all posters ripped due to the Soviet Union’s pressure for it to be deleted.

[ID a screenshot of a french market application where a rare version of Goncharov is being sold at an overpriced price (150€ when the original price was 15€).

Translation: “Collector version of Martin Scorsese’s 1973 mafia movie.

No more in market, thus the price (not debatable, i won’t answer foolish proposals)

Can be passed in hand in Lile (France) or sent with care” End ID]

Source

Thus the only sources were the limited physical copies created during the short time it was available for sale.

This proves the recent analysis (here too), that men have a hard time escaping the violent environment they were set in, that that’s how it must be. All the queer tendencies having to be silenced because it’s an anomaly (we’ve all seen the goncharov x andrey scenes, idc how you can say they’re just partners in crime, there’s definitely more) or how women must, despite their own preferences, stand next to a man. How their worth is based solely on their support to another man, unable to chose their own life path (the katya and sofia scenes touched me more than almost any GLs i might have read fr).

The movie did mock these stereotypes, that’s why it rubbed the Soviet Union the wrong way and it stirred such a controversy.

But in the end, the ones who suffer the most are the queer people from there. Just because they don’t have a voice anymore it doesn’t mean there never existed, or still exist, queer people in Russia. Just open a history book my friend, there are endless examples: Tchaikovsky was a gay man who is thought to have been assassinated because of his orientation. [ID a famous picture of Piotr Tchaikovsky next to Iosif Kotek, said to be the composer’s partner End ID]

Konstantin Somov, whose connection with Methodiy is said to be just “friendship” despite his writings in his journal. [ID a painting done by Konstantin Somov depicting Methodiy Lukyanov in PJs, said to be the “one who loved Somov the most” as Somov wrote End ID]

Rudolf Nureyev, bisexual, who was even expulsed from the Soviet Union during that time and who was never able to see his mother until the moment she died… [ID a portrait of the famous Russian ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev, who was in a long term relationship with Danish ballet dancer Erik Bruhn, until the latter’s death End ID]

They existed, they exist. They people who suffer the most. Stop silencing queer media and queer people! It is important…

Let’s spam Goncharov everywhere. Goncharov and Andrey and Katya and Sofia. They are all valid. Let’s not leave their story fade in vain.

#this is important as the new russian law is now valid :( #goncharov #goncharov 1973 #martin scorsese #robert de niro #al pacino #commentary #am i being too political sorry #also now i feel foolish that i don’t know sapphic women from russian history im sorry again

RUDOLF NUREYEV

RUDOLF NUREYEV

1938-1993

Russian ballet dancer

            Rudolf Nureyev was born into a poor peasant family in Russia (Soviet Union) and wanted to become a dancer since seeing the opera as a child. He started studying ballet at age 11 and as he got older he joined the top ballet company in Russia, the Kirov Ballet.

In 1961, he fled Communist-controlled Russia and deflected at the Le Bourget Airport in Paris.

            He went on to dance with the Royal Ballet in London and formed a famous partnership with dancer Margot Fonteyn and became one of the best-known dancers in the world.

            He socialized with well-known celebrities including Freddie Mercury, Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, Jackie Kennedy Onassis and allegedly had an affair with Mick Jagger (Mick Jagger also had a threesome with David Bowie and Bette Midler). Nureyev later grew tired of socializing with celebrities but remained friends with those in the ballet world.

            Nureyev was bisexual and would often pick up young men. In 1961, he met Danish dancer Erik Bruhn and they became a couple. In 1973, he had an affair with American dancer Robert Tracy.

            Nureyev was notorious for having one-night stands. When AIDS became known in 1982, Nureyev took little notice. One of his previous lovers who had contracted HIV rang up Nureyev and advised him to get tested which he did in 1984 and tested positive but kept it a secret whilst his health declined. In November 1992 he entered the hospital in France and died there aged 54 in January 1993.
