Abstract
This article explores the changes in women’s position in Russian society in the second decade of the XXIst century, which still find their place despite the ossified and immutable beliefs. Starting from the analysis of the social, economic, religious and political background of the 2010-s, the article advances understanding of the reflection of those changes through a discourse analysis of two representatives of contemporary female internet poets, published between 2010 up to 2019. The article underlines the growing weight of the changing gender climate and highlights women’s opportunities to campaign for their rights.
