The book by Eduard Fedorovich Makarevich tells about the intimate sphere of the life of Soviet people, which has not been made public for many years. Contrary to the well-known statement that there was no sex in the Soviet Union, the author proves the opposite: the sexual life of a Soviet person was no less intense than in the West. It is no coincidence that the USSR had its own sex symbols and even "sex bombs", which sometimes had a significant impact on the country's politics and on its leaders. The author talks about them in his book, and in addition, shows how the attitude to "intimate secrets" has changed in different periods of the country's life
