This project examines relationships between citizens and their state in contemporary Russia by studying interest group activity in Moscow during the mid-1990s. It asserts that because the state was largely unresponsive to citizen groups, citizens felt little loyalty to it. Moreover, citizens varied in their ability to affect policymaking. Because men and women were expected to play different roles, they were assumed to have different sets of acceptable needs. When they tried to claim different ones, state and society resisted them.

520 $a This project examines relationships between citizens and their state in contemporary Russia by studying interest group activity in Moscow during the mid-1990s. It asserts that because the state was largely unresponsive to citizen groups, citizens felt little loyalty to it. Moreover, citizens varied in their ability to affect policymaking. Because men and women were expected to play different roles, they were assumed to have different sets of acceptable needs. When they tried to claim different ones, state and society resisted them.
520 $a To get at these dynamics, the project explores policymaking in two areas, which represent the civic obligations of men and women: military service and motherhood. It observes the efforts of five interest groups to influence policy in these areas: three women's organizations---Women of Russia, the Moscow Center for Gender Studies, and the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers---and two men's---the Moscow Helsinki Group and the Anti-Militaristic Radical Association. It analyzes the factors affecting their success, including institutional elements, such as Constitutional and legal provisions, and ideological ones, such as attitudes towards democracy and gender roles.
520 $a Although both types of factors shaped groups' opportunities, I find that one of the most important components of success was the exploitation of gender. Some women's groups manipulated traditional gender identity to consolidate grassroots support and demand a response from the state. In contrast, men's organizations and more radical women's groups could not inspire effective grassroots movements or elicit significant responses. Thus interest groups exploiting gender property were most likely to force the state to act. At the same time, no successful group radically challenged gendered citizenship; instead these groups reinforced the principle of separate civic roles for men and women.
520 $a These findings problematize certain aspects of modern democratic theory. This theory depends on women fulfilling their roles as mothers and men, as soldiers. But for women, citizenship grounded in motherhood precludes full citizenship, since maternal roles justify their exclusion from it. For men, a system demanding military service but denying the right to participate in creating corresponding policy does not allow real consent.
