Abstract
In the early 1950s, the USSR Ministry of Health, Ministry of Justice, All Union Central Council of Trade Unions, and State Prosecutor collectively developed ideas to improve women’s reproductive environment. While the Doctors’ Plot derailed the process, after Stalin’s death in March 1953, reform movements resumed. In 1954, journalist Elena Serebrovskaia began a public movement demanding reform of the 1944 Family Law, and many citizens, including prominent members of the intelligentsia, joined this call. Medical and legal experts believed that the time was ripe for family law reform, but nothing came out of the public movement. Instead, medical experts advanced abortion law reforms in the early 1950s, culminating in the 1955 re-legalization. Despite these developments, the key elements of the 1944 Family Law remained untouched.
