Sneak a Peek at Once-Secret Sex Files

07 September 2001By Josephine Schmidt / NEW YORK TIMES SERVICEIn the official Soviet world all families were happy families and there was no interest in or place for sex outside the nuptial bedroom. ""Sex didn't exist in the Soviet Union,'' said Marina Chestnykh, as she led the way into a cage-like storage area of the Russian State Library. Chestnykh oversees an erotica collection assembled by the Communist government, which for decades kept its existence such a tight secret that no one knows exactly what is among the approximately 11,000 books, postcards, prints, brochures, drawings and other objects from around the world that are jammed into the library's rambling storage stacks. There is still no comprehensive record of the collection's contents or provenance because the trove was never methodically assembled.
