The Diversification of the Russian Gender Contract and the Conservative Turn

Abstract

The essay examines the overlaps and contradictions between the three components of the gender contract in contemporary Russia: government policy and legislation, organisational policies, and individual practices and attitudes. Using a variety of data sources—presidential speeches, official policy documents and entries by Moscow-based companies to the competition ‘The Best Company for Working Mothers’ (2008–2015)—the study finds that while highly paid working mothers might take advantage of the institutional conditions of defamilialism, low-income and unemployed mothers become the subject of the familialist policies of the state and small and medium companies.
