Her Side of The Story: Women Dissident Practices in the Soviet Union and Beyond
This panel will focus on the women’s experience of dissidence and resistance in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet countries, which are still largely overlooked in the scholarship. Not attempting to undermine or reverse the general understanding of dissent, the panel seeks to diversify its meaning but looking for and looking into specifically women’s practices, which developed outside the main known centres of the dissident movement. Additionally, it seeks to answer the question about the reasons for women's "invisibility" in the narratives of dissent.
