In general, the position of women in the ussr changed for the better. Lenin said that they were "domestic slaves" and that under a Communist regime this could be changed and they could gain greater equality. The communes set up under Stalin allowed daily life to be collectivised which took responsibilties away from women and freed them of duties so they could work in the fields and industries. There were creches available to watch young children and meal times were communal (they were all fed by the commune). Women were seen more in secondary education and took on more intellectual challenges such as driving new complex farming machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters. There is evidence women were not paid as well as men and there were fewer training opportunities but overall there postion improved massively.

Women's rights also improved. Issues such as divorce and abortion became easier to access however by 1941 many rights were taken away from them and abortion was made illegal.

How did Stalin treat women?

Well, just because Stalin was evil...he still loved children. He was a very caring man; well when it came to Russia. Stalin was also harsh at times to, don't get me wrong, Stalin was a communist and communism evolves around what he desires to do, and that was to have many soldiers. Children would have to train like current soldiers in the US army do today. So, although Stalin was a communist he still had feelings.

Why did the proletariat believe in Stalin?

They believed in Lenin more, though Stalin was his successor. They believed in Stalin because Stalin promised the proletariats equality.Equality was important to them because under the rule of Tsar, they were living under poverty. So equality was the better alternativeEven though Stalin promised them equality, he broke his promise by creating a class disparity, by only benefiting the communist party.The proletariat did not believe in Stalin, because Stalin never promised them anything. Lenin had to make promises in order to get the Russian people to back him and his Bolsheviks against the Provisional Government. Stalin was just in the right place at the right time and with sufficient ruthlessness to move into a position of power after Lenin died whether the people liked it or not.
