In Soviet Russia - Mme Kolontai, Minister of Public Assistance in the Maximalist Cabinet, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the historical moment when Alexandra Kollontai, a prominent Marxist theorist and politician, served as the Commissary for Social Welfare in the Russian Maximalist Cabinet during the First World War. The image, taken from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts Kollontai with a direct gaze, holding a pamphlet or book in her hands. Dressed in a simple, high-collared blouse and with her hair pulled back, she exudes a sense of determination and purpose. The background is blurred, drawing the viewer's focus to the strong, determined expression on her face. Born in 1872, Kollontai was a pioneering figure in the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party and an influential voice in the Marxist movement. She advocated for women's rights, workers' rights, and the establishment of a socialist society. Her appointment as Minister of Public Assistance in the Maximalist Cabinet marked a significant step forward for women in politics and for the socialist cause in Russia. The photograph is a testament to the historic role that Kollontai played in Russian politics during a time of great upheaval and change. It is a powerful reminder of the important contributions that women have made throughout history, and the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality. The print, with its stark contrasts and bold composition, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or political memorabilia.
