description Soviet Russia, at the initiative of working women, was the first country in the world to legalize the voluntary interruption of pregnancy and to allow its free practice in public hospitals, even though the Russian feminist organizations of that time did not include this demand in their programs. The Soviet decree of legalization of abortion crowned a whole series of legislative measures aimed at establishing legal equality between women and men, as well as ensuring the legal protection of working women. In this article, we describe the process that concluded in the adoption of such legislation and briefly analyze the results of its application in Russia. The legalization of abortion was justified by the representatives of the Soviet government as a measure required by the precarious situation in which working-class and peasant women found themselves, although there was a debate in Soviet Russia about the reasons and the justification of abortion that we tried to document in the present work. Likewise, we include as appendices a translation into Spanish of the Soviet decree of legalization of abortion and of the theses of Nikolai Semashko, the People's Commissar of Public Health, on the position of Soviet Russia about maternal and child protection and about abortion.
