'''Alexandra Mikhailovna Kollontai''' (Алекса́ндра Миха́йловна Коллонта́й — née '''Domontovich''', Домонто́вич) ([[March 31]], [[1872]] - [[March 9]], [[1952]]) was a [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] [[Communist]] revolutionary, first as a member of the [[Menshevik]]s, then from [[1914]] on as a [[Bolshevik]]. She was effectively exiled by [[Stalin]], who sent her abroad as a diplomat, and she was thus one of the very few "[[Old Bolsheviks]]" to escape death during the [[Great Purge]]s of the [[1930s]]. |

'''Hockey''' is any of a family of [[sport]]s in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a [[hockey puck|puck]] or ball into the opponents' [[goal]] using a [[stick]]. The major forms of hockey are: |

|||
*[[Field hockey]], played on grass with a ball. |
|||
At the time of the split in the [[Russian Social Democratic Labour Party]] into the [[Mensheviks]] under [[Julius Martov]] and the [[Bolshevik]]s under [[Vladimir Lenin]] in [[1903]] she did not side with either faction. However, she came to dislike aspects of Bolshevism and opted to join the Mensheviks. |
|||
*[[Ice hockey]], played on ice with a small rubber disc called a [[hockey puck|puck]]. |
|||
Field hockey was the original form of the game, and in most countries this is the game referred to by the word ''hockey'' on its own. Where ice hockey is played more commonly (especially [[Canada]], the [[USA]] and [[Scandinavia]]), ''hockey'' on its own refers to ice hockey. Field hockey sticks are smaller than ice hockey sticks but the general shape is similar. |
|||
In [[1914]], Kollontai joined the Bolsheviks and returned to [[Russia]], after a period of exile for her earlier political activities. After the Bolshevik takeover in October [[1917]] she became [[People's Commissar]] for Social Welfare. She was the most prominent woman in the Soviet administration and was best known for founding the [[Zhenodtel]] or "Women's Department" in [[1919]]. This organization worked to improve the conditions of women's lives in the [[Soviet Union]], fighting illiteracy and educating women about the new marriage, education, and working laws put in place by the Revolution. It was eventually closed by [[Stalin]] in [[1930]]. |

In the government, Kollontai increasingly became an internal critic of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Communist Party]] and joined with her friend, [[Alexander Shlyapnikov]], to form a left-wing faction of the party that became known as the [[Workers' Opposition]]. However, [[Lenin]] managed to dissolve the Workers' Opposition, after which Kollontai became more or less totally politically sidelined. |

When [[Joseph Stalin]] gained power, he sent Kollontai abroad as a [[diplomat]]. In [[1923]], she became the world's first woman ambassador, serving in [[Norway]], and later in [[Mexico]] and [[Sweden]]; she was also a member of the Soviet delegation to the [[League of Nations]]. She died in [[1952]]. |
|||
She is an unusual figure in the history of the [[Soviet Union]] as she was an "Old Bolshevik" and a major public critic of the Communist Party who was neither purged or executed by the Stalin regime, though as a diplomat serving abroad, she had little influence in government policy or operations and so was effectively [[exile]]d. |
