Abstract
The article analyses the Bolsheviks’ policy of the 1920s to involve women into the social and political life of the country. The study aims to identify the peculiarities and contradictions when implementing this policy under the conditions of a national region. By the materials of the Buryat-Mongol ASSR the authors analyse the activity of local women’s organizations (Red Yurts and Buryat Women’s Centres), discover their role in the building of a new socialist society. The sources containing the fragments of the women’s memoirs of those years are introduced into scientific use. The paper concludes that the gender policy of the Soviet state resulted in improving women’s life quality.
