This thesis analyzes women&rsquo / s status in the Russian Federation in the period after the
dissolution of the Soviet Union. Yeltsin&rsquo / s reforms radically changed the quality of
political, economical and social aspects of Russian life. Yeltsin&rsquo / s period together
with the policies of the subsequent governments proved to be mostly detrimental to
women&acute / s status in the country. Women have become the ones who suffered most
from the instability and lawlessness of the transition period. This study discusses
increasing gender inequality and gender asymmetry in economy, politics and in
social realms in post-Soviet Russia and examines the transformation of women&rsquo / s role
and status in this period
