The paper shows the gender structure of higher education teaching staff in the post-Soviet Russia, and draws the results of comparison with foreign countries. The data is based on Russian and international educational statistics. The objective of this work is to reveal the type of dynamics of the gender structure of higher education teaching staff at the turn of the XXI century. It also demonstrates peculiarities of Russian higher education teaching staff feminization through a number of methods, including analysis, comparison, and quantitative evaluations (percentage, indices, and statistical series etc.) as well as by application of such parameters as proportion of women, and gender parity index. The gender aspect of the official structure of Russian higher education teaching staff is viewed as the gender composition of the teaching staff according to the level of the official structure as well as men/ women distribution by these levels. Summary: with higher education teaching staff gradually feminizing worldwide, this trend gains still greater speed in Russia. Moreover, the higher the official level is, the higher the feminization goes.
