...university that promises different sorts of “equality” to students and workers is not offering equality at all. Promising rights to half of the community and denying them to others creates an atmosphere that engenders this kind of abuse—allowing homophobia to grow in what is supposedly a safe space. This is especially disappointing considering past efforts to guarantee a workplace free of verbal harassment and intimidation at Harvard.

His underground workshop is a short walk from Red Square and is filled with pieces of elegantly curved wood from disassembled instruments. The tiny bottle of moonshine sits on a shelf not far from his tools. Unlike the stereotypical moonshine (or samogon, as it's called in Russian), Gusev distills boutique and artisanal spirits, joining the country's homebrew renaissance. He doesn't need to do it. He is educated employed and has access to high-quality alcohol...
