Abstract

Russian and foreign historiography discuss the question on whether there was a sexual revolution in Russia in 1917-1922 and in the USSR in 1923-1927. In the article the authors define a concept of “sexual revolution”, consider opposing views on the issue and carry out an analysis of the legislative base, discussions of the period of the 20th and modern literature. As a result the authors concluded that 1917-1927 is an independent period in historiography of the problem. The legislative base was liberalization, emancipation of women; however, women still were in economic dependence on men. Numerous discussions, publications of those years partially reflected life of youth, especially student life in the large cities. In rural areas, family and marriage were still based on a patriarchal family structure
