This book, written from a feminist perspective, uses the focus of
duelling to discuss the nature of masculinity in Russia. It traces
the development of duelling and masculinity historically from the
time of Peter the Great onwards, considers how duelling and
masculinity have been represented in both literature and film and
assesses the high emphasis given in Soviet times to gender
equality, arguing that this was a failed experiment that ran
counter to Russian tradition. It examines how duelling continues to
be a feature of life in contemporary Russia and relates the
situation in Russia to wider scholarship on the nature of
masculinity more generally. Overall, the book contends that
Russia's valuing of a strong, militaristic form of masculinity is a
major problem.
