Abstract.Summing up the results of the XX century, the analysts typically mention massive breakthrough ofwomen into the political elite and into social management spheres as one the main achievements. The participation of women in politics is one of the criteria for democratization since it creates real opportunities for the reflection of multipolar interests in society. Today, the UN adheres to the main organizational principle: without sharing power with women, no sustainable solutions can be found in a society threatened by social, economic and political problems. There is an ever-growing share of women in the political elite of developed countries: they take senior positions in the government structures, in social movements and in non-governmental organizations, in culture and education, and even in the army. When comparing the political elite of European countries, a huge gap in the number of women in the legislative and executive bodies of these countries becomes evident. Since there is no expansion of women's representation in Russian politics, the experience of other countries might be particularly interesting for study.Keywords: gender researches, women's rights, gender equality, representative bodies, quota system
