| Summary: | The article deals gender aspect authorities on the example of the independent management Russian empresses. They rule almost throughout eighteenth century. It was unusual for the Russian Empire. The man has always been at the head of the state. Woman led a private lifestyle. Self-expression was possible only in a religious orientation. Women's rule has not changed the general position of women in power. The position of women in society is changed slightly. One of the achievements of the reign of empress becomes the development of culture. Architecture and music are undergoing development. Imperial court device also undergoes changes. Women of noble birth are introduced into secular society. Emperor Peter I initiated this process when he issued a decree on assemblies. During the reign of the autocratic empresses, women of the privileged class begin to head various government organizations and institutions. The lives of other women remain traditional. We studied the concepts: "gender", "gender analysis", "women's political leadership", "political participation" and historiography on the issue women's participation and representation in power structures. We meet women in power in the European tradition. Empresses received power is not legitimate. Armed uprisings brought them to power. The law does not enshrine the right of women to the throne. And this precedent of female presence in power has changed little.
