Abstract
The author considers a situation in the modern Russian humanities, that is in gender studies through the relationship of scientific and public discourses. The author focuses on politics and political discourse as exerting great influence on the development of women’s and gender history in Russia due to a substantial initial politicization of both areas of historiography.
The author makes an attempt to study the process developing the native gender studies by establishing its link with political changes of liberalization in the second half of the 90s. She also focuses on the influence exerted on both – the academic community and the inhabitants of the Soviet Union in relation to women’s issues.
The article highlights first of all the perception of gender theory as an ideology. It attempts to search the way out of this situation by means of analyzing scientific and non-scientific discourses.
