This issue focuses on new academic discipline Gender Studies in the former USSR in comparative perspective – not only in comparison with the West, but within different countries of the post-Soviet region as well. It raises the following questions and thematic of the Issue:

Which – were 1) philosophical, and 2) political grounds and goals for emergence of this discipline in the former USSR two decades ago and in what forms are they represented today? To what extent is this discipline theoretically fit in the post-Soviet academy, higher education, and intellectual life of the political community? Can we speak about the specifics of the discipline in the above-mentioned comparative prospective? What 1) strong points, and what 2) weak points of this theoretical maintenance of the discipline “here and now”? What role did simultaneously soviet totalitarianism and in Badiou’s terms “communist hypothesis” at this play? How do Gender Studies influence (if at all?) on the intellectual situation in the region today?
