The thesis reconstructs the practice of professional realization of women scientists on the example of successful cases of career paths (of T. I. Zaslavskaya, N. P. Bekhtereva and O. A. Ladyzhenskaya). The study was conducted on the basis of a range of sources: 1) containing information about the biography and professional activities of women academicians; 2) records and regulatory documentation of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR; 3) interviews with scientists of the Academy of Sciences conducted by the author of the thesis. The study is based on the historical method, which includes historical and biographical, gender and institutional approaches. The novelty of the research comprises the fact that on the basis of the synthesis of historical and biographical, gender and institutional approaches, the trajectories of women's professional realization in the Soviet academic community have been reconstructed. The study revealed the peculiarities of reproduction of the higher scientific community and the transformation of attitudes towards women scientists in the scientific community in the Academy of Sciences of the USSR/RAS. As a result of the study, the complex of conditions and factors contributing to/hindering the professional realization of women scientists in the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was reconstructed. The thesis consists of three chapters. In the first chapter the general historical context and the main trends of feminization of science are reconstructed. The second chapter presents a historical and biographical study of successful cases of professional realization in the Academy of Sciences. In the third chapter the factors of successful professional realization in the system of the Academy of Sciences were identified based on the interviews with the members of the academic community of the RAS.
