Routledge - Gender, State and Society in Soviet Russia

Explore the complex evolution of gender relations through this essential academic study. As one of the rare English language books to focus on male experiences within the Soviet and post-Soviet eras, this work provides a deep look into how the rise and fall of the Soviet experiment changed social structures. Readers will examine how the transition affected the paternal role, the shift of women into breadwinner positions, and the loss of status for men in the workforce. The text also analyzes how gender roles were presented in the press and the connection between sexual and gender revolutions. With contributions from an outstanding panel of Russian scholars, this book serves as a primary resource for those studying Politics, Gender Studies, and Russian Studies. It offers a necessary perspective on how state changes directly impact the social fabric and individual identity in Russia.
