The article examines life strategies of disabled women who wish to find a spouse/life partner and build a family. We take the cases of contemporary Russia and Kazakhstan as countries that in many aspects share a common post-Soviet social and cultural background. Israel, which is considered one of the countries favorable for disabled people, is additionally taken as a case for comparison, for in fact there live many impaired ex-Soviets including women with disabilities. Drawing on own field research, we attempt to outline the principal models of marital behavior of such women in the countries under examination, pinpointing their specificities in each case. We argue that despite different social and cultural surroundings as well as varying ethnic and religious traditions, the factor of double stigmatization – both of disability and of gender stigmatization – makes a profound impact on self-identifications of these women who feel more vulnerable if compared with so-called “normal” women.

В статье исследуются жизненные стратегии женщин с ограниченными возможностями здоровья (ОВЗ), стремящихся найти супруга/жизненного партнера и создать семью. Авторы рассматривают примеры современных России и Казахстана как постсоветских стран, имеющих общий культурный бэкграунд. Дополнительно привлечен материал Израиля, считающегося одной из стран, благоприятных для людей с инвалидностью, где проживает немало людей с ОВЗ – выходцев из бывшего СССР. Опираясь на самостоятельно собранные полевые материалы, авторы выделяют различные модели поведения женщин с ОВЗ в России, Израиле и Казахстане, а также выявляют специфику каждого примера. Авторы приходят к выводу, что, несмотря на различия в социокультурном окружении, этнических и религиозных традициях, во всех рассматриваемых случаях на идентичность и стратегии поведения женщин с ОВЗ оказывает глубокое влияние двойная стигматизация (инвалидности и гендерная), что ведет их к ощущению своей повышенной уязвимости по сравнению с условно здоровыми людьми.
