Kommunistka (in Russian: Коммунистка, IPA: [kəmʊˈnʲistkə], lit.
'Communist Woman') was a communist magazine from the Soviet Union, associated to the Zhenotdel, founded by Inessa Armand and Alexandra Kollontai in 1920.
[1] Armand and Kollontai emphasized the low percentage of women in the public sphere – in the Russian Communist party, in economic management, in the soviets, in the trade unions and in the government – fixing which would require a specific effort "to achieve liberation".
[1] Armand, Kollontai or Krupskaya addressed issues such as sexuality, abortion, marriage and divorce, the relationship between sexes, free love, morality, family, motherhood or the liberation of women from the slavery of men.
Furthermore, the magazine's perspective emphasized that women liberation was intimately linked to the emancipation of the whole communist society.
