Launching the Neoconservative State
The politics of the family, sexuality, and reproduction—and, most symbolically, of abortion—became a primary vehicle through which right — wing politicians sought to achieve state power in the late 1970s and the 1980 elections. In particular, the crusade against legal abortion was taken up by an ascendant New Right as the pivotal issue in a […]
Women as mothers — a natural phenomenon that must be celebrated

Neglecting the Criminal Law and Procedure
There was less attention focused on reforming the criminal laws regarding domestic violence when the parliament was revising the Soviet-era criminal code in the mid-1990s. Neither the embryonic women’s crisis center movement, the Women of Russia faction, nor international human rights advocates were directing criticism toward the criminal assault articles for including no specific reference […]
