Conclusion
Abstrak
This concluding chapter highlights the many factors that had a very practical, immediate, and real impact on the lives of queer men in St. Petersburg. These included precinct-level police protocols, ministerial dossiers, citywide directives, orders for spatial modifications, sanitary regulations, approved designs of urinals, streetlights, tram lines, the landscaping of public gardens, and instruction manuals for police officers. The chapter then considers the importance of recognizing and addressing ambiguity as a hallmark of the historical queer milieu. It looks at Mikhail Kuzmin's only novel, Wings (1906), an early-twentieth-century fictional account of what one might today describe as a coming-out story set in late imperial St. Petersburg. Unabashedly flirtatious in public in his nonliterary life, Kuzmin here preserved the nuanced art of detecting and navigating the urban queer milieu.
