Description:

This book analyzes the different possibilities and limitation that the changing Russian political system of the 1990's posed for women and men in Russia. It argues that under Russia's political system, men and women are expected to fulfill different roles as citizens: men are soldiers, while women are mothers. As a result, men and women face different obstacles and opportunities when they try to influence Russian policy and the Russian policy making process.
