What caused concern by France and England when Stalin appointed Vyacheslav Molotov head Soviet foreign affairs?
On May 3, 1939, Stalin announced that Maxim Litvinov was being replaced by Vyacheslav Molotov as the Commissar for For Foreign Affairs. Litvinov had held that positions for years. The Kremlin's explanation was that Litvinov was having health problems, and that there was no change in Soviet foreign policies. Diplomats world wide suspected that Stalin was being less than truthful, in that former foreign commissar had been anti-Hitler for years, and that Litvinov was a champion for collective security among the nations of Europe. Also, it was not overlooked that Litvonov was Jewish. Western diplomats believed that at the least, Stalin's dismissal of his commissar meant a change in his views, but to what extent was unknown. The West had over the years come to understand what the Soviet Union's foreign policies were and this change had a purpose. In diplomatic circles, the 'unknown" is cause for concern.

She introduced my reforms and changes in Soviet Russia under Lenin, such as paid maternity leave and free child care - though many of these were ineffective with the lack of financial support. though she seemed to drop a lot of her radical ideas towards female liberty in the later years of her life, the social context of her working for the USSR under Stalinism and the oppression of a totalitarian society, it is understandable why she had to bend her views - to survive.
