Aleksandra Kollontai was a Russian revolutionary, diplomat, and novelist. In 1920 she became the People's Commissar for Social Welfare, a new system of social protection which promoted a class-related approach in treatment of human rights and secured status for some previously disadvantaged segments of population.
