Abstract
This article is devoted to the exploration of some trends in gender studies in contemporary Russia and is based on our research and teaching in the field over the course of seven years. The main concepts of gender research - gender, feminism, women's subjectivity - were introduced to the Russian public early in 1990s; Russian gender studies began to develop as a whole due to the application of Western concepts and theories. The article examines the growth of gender studies over the last 10 years, contextual differences as well as theoretical approaches in Russian gender studies as these have arisen in the context of the 'Russia - West' dichotomy.
