This book provides a new perspective through a closer look on “Other”, i.e. ethnic minority women defined by the Soviet documents as natsionalka. Applying decolonial theory and critical race and whiteness studies, the book analyzes archive documents, early Soviet films and mass publications in order to explore how the “emancipation” and “culturalization” of women of “culturally backward nations” was practiced and presented for the mass Soviet audience. Whilst the special focus of the book lies in the region between the Volga and the Urals (and Muslim women of the Central Eurasia), the Soviet emancipation practices are presented in the broader context of gendered politics of modernization in the beginning of the 20th century. The analysis of the Soviet documents of the 1920s-1930s not only subverts the Soviet story on “generous help” with emancipation of natsionalka through uncovering its imperial/colonial aspects, but also makes an important contribution to the studies of imperial domination and colonial politics. This book is addressed to all interested in Russian and Eurasian studies and in decolonial approach to gender history. .

This anthology explores the multifaceted challenges and empowerment opportunities faced by post-Soviet women across diverse regions, including the Baltic states, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Edited by Ann-Mari Sätre, Yulia Gradskova, and Vladislava Vladimirova, the book draws on empirical data, including ethnography, interviews, and social media, to analyze the impact of political changes, gender backlashes, and traditional values on women's lives. It highlights women's agency and activism in response to these challenges, exploring themes such as domestic violence prevention, nationalist narratives, and grassroots digital feminisms. The volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers in politics, sociology, anthropology, and gender studies, as well as policymakers and activists interested in the evolving gender regimes in post-Soviet societies.
