Abstract

The issues of women’s political participation, which are considered in the article, allow not only to predict the general course of the political process in Russia, but also to identify the degree of women’s influence on the electoral results. The article is written on the data of last wave of Monitoring “How do you live, Russia?” (June 2021), launched by the Centre of strategic social and political studies of the Institute of social and political research of Russian Academy of Sciences. The author analyses the features of the legitimization of the Russian political regime by the female part of society, which are determined by the level of trust in various public and political institutions and the level of satisfaction with the political system. Analyzing the political parties sympathies and features of the declared political behavior of women, the author concludes that there are minimal differences in the assessments of the content and specifics of the political system in the opinions of men and women, discrepancies were found in the assessment of the activities of some political leaders, as well as in political parties sympathies. Given the absence of a split between the sexes in the assessment of political issues, it is possible to predict the preservation of the existing gender order, which is characterized by traditional ideas about the role of women in society.
