They supported the Russia of National Labor, which was built on a corporate system of Russian fascism in which a woman would achieve her "rightful place" in the law as the bearer of the idea of beauty and as the keeper of the home. Russian Women's Fascist Movement served as an autonomous section of the All-Russian Fascist Party (VFP), with its policy provided by the guidance of the RGFD and approved by the Head of the VFP.
