When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, they believed that the family would wither away under socialism. They envisioned a society in which public canteens, kindergartens, and public laundries would replace women's unpaid labor in the home. However, by 1936, legislation designed to liberate women from their legal and economic dependence gave way to increasingly conservative policies aimed at strengthening traditional family ties and women's reproductive roles. This book explains how and why this reversal was launched. Particular attention is paid to how women, peasants, and orphans responded to Bolshevik attempts to remake the family and how their opinions and experiences, in turn, were co-opted by the state to serve its own needs.
