With Lyubov Nikolaevna Denisova, doctor historical sciences, it was easy for us to communicate. Firstly, we both have roots in the Ustyuzhensky district of the Vologda region. Countrymen, in a word. Secondly, we have been researching the village all our lives - I as a journalist, she as a historian. The reason for the conversation was the book she wrote, “Women of Russian Villages,” about rural women in Russia in the second half of the twentieth century. Before this, Lyubov Nikolaevna wrote about the crisis of rural culture and the disappearing villages of Russia. We decided to continue the conversation about women of the Russian village, but in our own, 21st century.

- Lyubov Nikolaevna, let's sketch the image of a modern peasant woman.

This is a woman, usually with average or special education, by nature, patient, cheerful, persistent, middle-aged - probably closer to pre-retirement age, decisive - takes responsibility for the whole family.

- Does he take it because there is no one else?

Yes, no one. She is most likely married, but her husband is not the head of the family, although he does not want to accept the second role.

- But, nevertheless, families in the village are much stronger than in the city, right?

Again, because of the traditional attitude of a woman - she does not want to be alone. Because, firstly, it’s word of mouth, and secondly, you need an au pair. They even say this: well, he doesn’t always drink. A drunkard is someone who not only drinks, but also does not work. And if sometimes he brings a salary to the house and even helps with the housework, such men, the village believes, cannot be thrown away.

Your book ends with the radical reforms of the 90s of the twentieth century. How has the image of a woman transformed in the 21st century?

Farming didn't work out. A woman is increasingly inclined towards family farming, but she still thinks of this farming as a large collective - on a collective farm or state farm...

I also noticed: the former collective farm or state farm now plays the role of a subsidiary farm for the family farmstead. Where you always have a tractor in your hands, where you can get hold of hay and grain...

And, in addition, this is protection from some unforeseen circumstances - a crop failure, an accident, an unpleasant event in the family. And the habit of living together, collectively.

And we also need to educate the children, and this is difficult nowadays. You have to spin. And mainly due to subsidiary farming.

According to statistics, more than 50 percent of the agricultural product in Russia is formed mainly through the labor of women. Now men are also getting involved in this, because sometimes this is the only opportunity to feed themselves.

Lyubov Nikolaevna, remember when the red corners of the huts were sealed with letters. It’s a sin to laugh at this, because it was warm. She works, knows neither sleep nor rest, waist-deep in manure, her arms are twisted with rheumatism, her back does not bend, but she thinks: okay, I’m working for the future of the country, for the children. And suddenly perestroika, a spiritual vacuum. I noticed that at that time the number of drinking women in the village increased sharply.

Unfortunately, yes, but I still categorically disagree with the fact that women become drunkards, although there is such an opinion. Because otherwise agriculture there wouldn't be any.

Perhaps there was such a short period. But she was the first to leave it. Because she is in charge of the household, she is in charge of her husband. The cattle are not fed, not milked, the garden is not weeded... . Well, liquidation public organizations. There is nowhere to realize one’s potential except on a subsidiary farm. And they no longer give rewards for this work. But, nevertheless, the Russian woman did not lose her optimism even in such conditions.

As they write to me in one of their letters, you only need to rely on God and yourself.

Or maybe the truth is that the woman, the continuer of the family, has always had this responsibility: she herself will be hungry, and the children must be clothed, shod, fed... The village has almost always been female. Wars, construction projects, organizational recruitment - the man was “blown away”, that’s why he was always valued. But there was also a period when there weren’t enough brides.

Basically this was typical for the central non-black earth village. Remember, a campaign was launched in the country: “I choose a village to live in.” Newspapers, radio, and television got involved. Women traveled both with children and alone. Including to arrange your life. They worked as milkmaids, pig farmers, and rarely as specialists, got married, and started a family. But funny things also happened. At that time from the village of Sokolovka Chelyabinsk region Eight guys turned up, saying, we’re inviting brides to come to us. Thousands responded, hundreds arrived. The practice of invitations is still alive. I read a letter from women from Kuban who are ready to accept any men, wash them, wash them, bring them to their senses, because they are tired of being alone. In the Penza region, on the contrary, guys invite girls: we don’t drink, we work, we earn good money. The promotions have stopped, but the problem has not been solved...

- Now, judging by your research, the number of men and women in the village has become equal.

At working age, yes. And then the face of the village becomes feminine. In general, the Russian village is becoming old and feminine. And this process, unfortunately, is irreversible. The country's population is dying out, and first of all the Russian village. And the reason is simple. Even having one child today is a great feat for many women. By the way, a new phenomenon has appeared: a woman goes to the extent of having a child out of wedlock, which for the village has always been, not only untypical, condemned. And today the village is even ahead of the city in this indicator: approximately 40 percent of illegitimate children. Which, I repeat, was considered a shame before. This speaks both about morality, as you understand, and about the fact that, in fact, there is no one to marry.

But another phenomenon is that women are increasingly taking charge of household management. Not only personal, but also collective. And they do it quite well. Has it really become too much for the man to bear, and the woman, out of habit, offered her shoulder?

This happened before, but it was not recognized, but now they are forced to admit it.

- And small businesses in towns and villages...

-...also in the hands of women.

- How can we explain this? It seems like a money job. There are Caucasian men all over the city markets...

Well, traditionally it is not customary for us to have a man trade. Before collectivization, yes, and then he was replaced by a woman, but she was no longer an owner, but a seller, and this work was poorly paid. That’s why the woman quickly got used to the market.

- Or maybe because they are more sober, less tempted?

And more confident, more responsible. A man will quit the race at the first failure, but a woman will not give up her invested money, because her family is behind her.

With the collapse of the USSR, a stream of migrants from Transcaucasia and Central Asia poured into the Russian village. Their mentality, educational level, and culture are different. They, too, to one degree or another, determine the face of the modern village...

It seems to me that the merger process is still not happening. They are not consolidated in any way. Moreover, conflict often arises. “Let's come in large numbers! Cars, furniture, and even the state helps.” And, feeling the negative attitude of local residents towards them, they try to settle separately.

In general, this is the traditional attitude of the village towards strangers. And maybe not because they came with money and cars, a lot depends on their behavior. If people are open-minded, if they perceive this village as their place of residence, and not as a transfer, the village will accept and help such people.

But in lately There are also those who, living in the village, have neither a vegetable garden nor livestock. He lives in a hut like a ball, doesn’t work anywhere, lives mainly by theft.

Unfortunately, yes. But again, not women. This is not typical for them. In general, I am very optimistic about the Russian village and the Russian woman.

- What is your optimism based on?

Let's just say, from our own village experience. And judging by the fact that more than half of the agricultural product produces subsidiary farming, things are not that bad. This is not a post-war village, where there was nothing at all, and you had to harness yourself to the plow. It seems to me that with not so much government investment and provided family farming is maintained, the village may well be revived. Maybe as an association of family farms. But the woman herself can no longer be both a horse and a bull, as the ditty sang. She must remain a woman.

We need to move away from this image – “there are women in Russian villages...”.

- Which one should I approach?

In 1993, American professor David Runsel interviewed women of different generations in villages in the central regions of Russia. About family, marriage - about personal things. And he published a book in America. Her conclusion is this: all Soviet historiography was wrong in dividing women into two camps - either she is completely downtrodden, has no voice of her own, or Pasha Angelina. And this is a “simple Russian woman.” And Ransel's book was interesting to America. Because a Russian woman is not like an American woman - there is no such thing as a peasant woman. But it also does not resemble the cliché that Soviet ideologists have been churning out for many years. So let us agree that the image of a Russian woman is not a dark mass, but it is not a politicized person either.

And the mysterious Russian soul? Which I write about all the time, and which is always crossed out of my text. But they don’t say, a mysterious French soul? After all, this expression came from somewhere. The mysterious Russian soul, as I believe, is precisely the female soul. Because only a Russian woman can give up her seat to a drunk on the bus. Or take a degraded man into the house. Here, we must agree with the American Ransel - this is the eternal image of the Russian woman...

The conversation was conducted by Alexander Kalinin
