Discussion
The paper will examine the phenomenon of cultural and political masculinization of post-Soviet Russia. The author will examine two interconnected segments of power and cultural policy. The first is the gradual increase in the share of men (especially the so-called security officials) in the system of public administration. The second is the public discussion around feminitives in the Russian language. The course of the discussion, unexpectedly for many, revealed the deep masculine chauvinism of the "Russian World".
