4 As Dahl states, 'the most easily accessible candidate for intervening in a market economy in
order to alter an otherwise harmful outcome, and the most effective, is … the government
of the state' (Dahl 1998:175).
5 This lack of accent on political and social activity successfully remained invisible for the
Western world. Thus, British researchers visiting the Soviet Union in the early 1980s wrote
that for them before the trip Soviet women seemed to be 'away from the pressures of the
capitalist market, from conspicuous consumption, from advertising with its glamorous
models and from street-corner pornography. Instead there are images of women successful
as a result of their achievements, as factory workers, scientists, even astronauts' (Holland
1985:10).
6 The authors of the programme deny both feminist and patriarchal approaches. Thus, on the
one hand, the party promises that women will get the opportunity to be in the family; on
the other, the programme promises to create mechanisms that would help women to adapt
to the conditions of the market economy (International Helsinki Federation for Human
Rights 2001).
