Abstract

An increasing number of women is successfully rebelling against the Russian army. They try to resist an undemocratic military force where soldiers are ill-treated and tortured. Eva Maria Hinterhuber, a former employee at the St. Peterburg Soldiers’ Mothers, writes in her recently published thesis about one group of opposers, their role in the process of transformation and their importance for the development of a civil society in Russia.
