性别差异在社会的几个领域持续存在，科学研究也不例外。本研究描述了1973年至2012年期间女性在俄罗斯科学领域的地位演变，包括发表的研究成果、研究生产力、国际和国内合作以及科学影响，同时考虑到1991年苏联解体后该国的社会经济、政治和历史背景。结果表明，性别平等远未实现。在几乎所有学科中，妇女对研究成果和科学影响的贡献仍然不足，其中俄罗斯擅长的数学和物理研究领域差距最大。男子和妇女在国家和国际一级表现出不同的合作模式，妇女在国家一级表现突出，男子在国际一级表现突出。尽管在苏联解体后，女性科学产出的影响显著增加，但在大多数学科中，两性之间的差距随着时间的推移保持稳定。因此，这种增加不能被解释为妇女在俄罗斯科学中的相对影响力的提高，而是俄罗斯科学影响力的总体提高。
Gender disparities persist in several areas of society and scientific research is no exception. This study describes the evolution of the place of women in Russian science from 1973 to 2012, in terms of published research output, research productivity, international and national collaboration, and scientific impact, taking into account the socioeconomic, political and historic context of the country, which was marked by the fall of the USSR in 1991. The results show that gender parity is far from being achieved. Women remain underrepresented in terms of their contribution to research output and scientific impact in almost all disciplines, with Mathematics and Physics, research areas in which Russia is specialized, having the largest gap. Men and women show different collaboration patterns on the national and international level, whereas women are preeminent on the national scene, men are on the international one. Although the impact of women's scientific output significantly increases after the fall of the USSR, the gap between both genders remains stable over time for most of the disciplines. As a result, this increase cannot be interpreted as an improvement of the women's relative influence in Russian science, but rather an improvement of Russian science impact in general.
