Changes for Women and the Family

This course explores the significant shifts in the lives of women and family structures within the Soviet Union, particularly during the Stalinist era. It examines the initial Bolshevik reforms aimed at gender equality, the subsequent reversal of these policies under Stalin, and the profound impact on women's rights, family life, and their roles in society and the workforce. Learners will gain insight into the complex interplay of ideology, economic goals, and social control that shaped these changes.
