Maria Arbatova Biography

Maria Arbatova is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on July 17, 1957 in Murom, Russia. Maria Arbatova, originally Gavrilina, was born in Murom in 1957. Her parents allowed her to have complete freedom and use of the apartment her grandfather owned in the Arbat. Maria took the pen name Arbatova in 1999 to replace Fyodor Chaliapin, a famous singer. She was a non-conformist from her youth and refused to join the Komsomol as it violated her principles.

Maria addressed the issue of conditions in maternity units in her 1997 book My Name is Women. In an angry tone, she discusses her experience giving birth. She concludes by stating that “All this happened to my seventeen-year-old self because I am a woman.” As long as people don’t consider this a topic worthy of discussion, it will continue to happen every day to other women. Being a woman in the world isn’t something that deserves respect, even though you are doing what men can’t do.

She joined the ranks of the liberal Soyuz Pravikh Sil (Union of Right Forces), and made an unsuccessful bid in 1999 for election to the State Duma from the University district of Moscow and, subsequently, wrote an account of her experience in the novel How I Fairly Tried to Get Into the Duma. In 2000, she conducted the political campaign of Ella Pamfilova, the first woman to run for the Presidency of Russia. Arbatova applied for the post of the Human Rights Plenipotentiary of Russia and, from 2001 to 2003, was the leader of the Human Rights Party. In 2005 she was among the leaders of the political block Free Russia during the Moscow municipal elections.

She is the author of 14 plays staged in Russia and abroad, 20 books, and numerous articles in newspapers and periodicals. Her books and plays, coming from one of the first Russian woman writers with an openly feminist ideology, won the hearts of a wide audience. She co-hosted the popular television show I, Myself (Ya Sama), a program that ran for almost ten years. It was chiefly due to her efforts that the words “feminism” and “feminist” acquired legitimacy in the post-Soviet era. Since 2005, she has conducted a human rights related program The Right to be Yourself on Radio Mayak.

She was the founder of Harmony, a feministic club that promotes the psychological rehabilitation of women. Since 1996, she has provided individual counselling. Her Club of Women Interfering in Politics was founded in 1996 to promote a greater representation of women in Russian politics.

Maria Ivanovna Arbatova (Russian Mariia Ivanovna Arbatova was born 17 July 1957) is a Russian writer, playwright and poet. She is also a journalist, talkshow host, politician and one of Russia’s most well-known feminists in the 1990s. As a child, she had strong opinions. She refused to join Young Communist League because she wanted to be a “hippy”. She was trained in psychoanalysis and studied at the Moscow State University’s Faculty of Philosophy. Due to ideological conflicts, she had to quit the Moscow state university. She became a mother to twins at the age of 19. This complicated her education. She continued her studies at the Maxim Gorky Litterature institute. Maria finished her studies and published prose and poetry. However, she decided to return to drama writing as it was more natural for her than other genres. Her literary works were expropriated by censorship in the pre- perestroika period, which was the time before 1985. Arbatova only had one play performed before glasnost, and the perestroika political program of restructuring, openness, and openness of Michail Gorbatsjov. It was a commission play. The play “Equitation with Two knowns” is an example of a play that was banned. The ministry of culture banned it for ten years. It is about a female geneticist who performs abortions. It was misinterpreted to mean that the play endorsed abortion. The play’s purpose is to highlight the unjust share of responsibility for child-raising and birth control. Arbatova is currently a member of both the Moscow Writer’s Union (Moscow Writer’s Union) and the Union of Theatrical Workers of Russia (Utatrical Workers of Russia). She is the author or fourteen plays, 20 books, and many articles in periodicals and newspapers. Her literary and public accomplishments have won her numerous awards.

Arbatova, despite her literary and hippie background, lived a similar life to most Soviet women. After her first marriage to Alexander Miroshnik, a singer, she was forced to raise 2 sons, Pavel and Peter, who were born in 1977. Oleg Vitte was her second marriage, but she didn’t survive Arbatova and the State Duma elections that she participated in. Shumit Datta Gupta is her current husband. He is a financial analyst.

In general, Arbatova in her feminist ideas advocate against the traditional male-female relationship in Soviet society. Women do not value their creative potential and consider marriage as a highest possible social achievement. In her own autobiography Mne sorok let (I am Forty, 1997) María makes an example of her mother, who she believes was the starting point for María to become a feminist. Women cannot fulfill their lives only through their role as a wife\mother. This lack of emancipation is partly a fault of Soviet society in which the status of women was often totally dependent on husbands, despite Soviet preach for the male-female equality.
