| Shrnutí: | After the October Revolution, the transformation of gender relations was placed at the heart of the Bolshevik project to build socialism in Russia.

What was the situation in reality? Data produced by the family time-budget surveys carried out in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and then in the late 1960s-early 1970s provides information allowing us to compare the reality of gender relations with official discourse in Soviet Russia. |
