Abstract: Abstract The gigantic social and economic experiment carried out in post-USSR Russia has been accompanied by great and widespread hardship. The fate of women has, justly, raised particular concern. Accounts ranging from the anecdotal to scholarly case studies present us with two interrelated images - the polarisation between rich and poor, and the polarisation between women and men.
