Dagestani woman’s participation in social and political life of the Republic in the first five postwar years (1946 - 1950)

Abstract

The article uses new documentary sources and special literature and examines the participation of a Dagestani woman in the social and political life of the Republic in 1945-1950. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to study the role of women in the post-war reconstruction of the state national economy. The author aims to show the increased role of women in the post-war reconstruction of the national economy. The active participation of women in all spheres of life was associated, first of all, with an acute shortage of men in the post-war period, because many died on the war fronts, and among the returnees there were many disabled people who could work. Hereinafter, the participation of women in the socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life in the post-war period was in great demand. Women replaced men in almost all areas of economic life. The conducted research allows the author to show the peculiarities of the development of female activity in the Republic in 1945-1950.
