In post-soviet space there is a saying—»communism for chosen ones.« This means that socialism and communism in the USSR, which promised »from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,« were, in reality, only satisfying the needs of a very small part of the population—mainly of party functionaries and their social circles. Moreover, research reveals that the needs of men were regularly prioritized over those of women, and were often satisfied by, and at the cost of, the latter. This does not differ much from the tradition of patriarchal capitalism. This lecture examines the history of women’s individual, and often invisible resistance against socialism and communism in the early period of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. It will discuss how women survived and lived, birthed, worked and cooperated in the period of collectivization in Ukraine (1928–1937). This generation of women lived through WWI, revolution, civil war, occupation, the establishment of the USSR and its totalitarian regime, collectivization, Holodomor (Famine) and WWII. What survival methods and resistance strategies did they develop throughout this complex historical period?
