Abstract
The liberalization that took place in the middle of the 1980s revealed that women in the republics of the previous USSR are economically, socially, and politically pushed to the margins of the society. Because Soviet women traditionally fulfilled several full-time roles: state employees, full-time housekeepers, wives, and baby-sitters, when the transition began they totally lacked the capacity and the resources to pick up also the role of the political actors. Consequently, that deprived them from the distribution of material resources in the society on their own behalf, thus pushing them in the situation of the eternal inequality. The new developing nation state—dominated almost exclusively by male politicians—is overwhelmed by the task to outlive economically and politically, thus leaving no place for such issues as effective realisation of the potential of women's or children's issues. It seems that the key to breaking this vicious circle lies in the field of women's rights and not only problems.
