Man and Woman: Body, Fashion, Culture. USSR - Thaw

The study by Doctor of Historical Sciences Natalia Lebina is dedicated to the gender background of Khrushchev's reforms, that is, the relationships between men and women during the partial dismantling of totalitarian models of marital and family relations, fatherhood and... motherhood, sexual behavior. The focus is on the intersections of the intimate and public spheres: how government directives combined with cinema and literature in their impact on private life, why and when everyday life eagerly responded to legislative initiatives, how language reacted to social changes, and finally, what is the phenomenon of freedom approved from above and arising against the backdrop of a theocratic model of life organization.
