Summary/Abstract: The article considers the changes in the Russian state policy on gender equality. The author proves that the Soviet model of formal legal equality was mostly used in the beginning of the 1990ies. From 1995 (Beijing Conference) till 2003 Russian state policy used international principles and practices of gender equality. During the last decade we can trace gradual refusal from the politics of gender equality and rollback to traditional and conservative ideas on the social roles of women and men
