- Deaf in the USSR considers the birth and development of a distinct Soviet deaf identity, from the revolutions of 1917 until the collapse of the Soviet state in 1991, situating the experience of deaf people within the broader framework of the Soviet revolutionary project. It draws on an extensive range of primary sources from within the deaf community (archival materials, deaf journalism, literature, theatre, art and personal memoirs), gathered over several years of research in Moscow and St Petersburg, and representations of deafness in mainstream works. It also explores comparisons between Soviet and other national understandings of deafness.
