ARTICLE 122. Women in the U.S.S.R. are accorded equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life.
The possibility of exercising these rights is ensured to women by granting them an equal right with men to work, payment for work, rest and leisure, social insurance and education, and by state protection of the interests of mother and child, pre-maternity and maternity leave with full pay, and the provision of a wide network of maternity homes, nurseries and kindergartens.
Well, sure, it says that. Standard platform.
But AFAIK Russian men are reputed to be fairly chauvanistic. And I don’t recall anyone saying that women ran the USSR, or played a major part in the Party or government.
Did I miss something?
