French fathers in 1985 were slowly accepting congé parental (parental leave, created 1977). Soviet fathers had no such leave; the state assumed women would manage. However, Soviet men enjoyed shorter work hours (41 vs. France’s 39, but with two hours of daily commuting/shopping). The family was the only private refuge from the performative collectivism of work.

For Soviet families, the daily rhythm was: work at the zavod (factory) or kolkhoz (collective farm), then work at home – fetching bread, standing in line, repairing appliances. The phrase "work-life balance" did not exist; instead, there was совмещение (combining), as women bore the double burden. la vie de famille 1985 ok vf ok ru work
