Care to elaborate about this "women's social and sexual liberation", which were, supposedly, denied to the Soviet women.
The easy example would be Stalin's illegalization of abortion and homosexual activity, both of which were originally legalized under Lenin. Remember Soltz's formulation that women had no right to decline the (alleged) joys of motherhood? That kind of thing was rampant in the Stalinist bureaucracy from the 1930s onward.
Stalin =/= the whole history of the USSR, as Napoleon Empre =/= the whole history of France. The Soviet Union was the first country in the wolrd that legalized abotions in 1920. They were illegal only from 1936 till 1955. So, no you are wrong.
Anything else? More meaningful, this time
