Because the former Soviet Union, with all its defects, never gave much of a shit about gender roles, you are going to learn science even if it takes your whole life. I guess some of that cultured stayed after Ussr collapsed
Read Alexandra Kollontai, the liberation of women from household oppression was something they actually did give a shit about and was intentional.
Didn't it end up that women were liberated to work same as men but also at home they had the home work too. Russia never really lost that patriarchal family dynamic.
