The head of the Petrograd Soviet and later the commissar of war was Leon Trotsky. He played a crucial role in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and was instrumental in organizing the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. Trotsky's leadership and military strategies helped solidify Bolshevik power in the early years of Soviet Russia. However, he later fell out of favor with Joseph Stalin and was ultimately exiled from the Soviet Union.

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.

Did Alexandra kollontai campaign for women's rights?

Yes, she did. she was a Russian feminist and strong socialist who was the only female member of the Sovnarkom, the core of Lenin's Bolshevik reign of Russia. she worked towards the sexual and social emanciapation of women as the Commissar of Social Welfare and later the head of the Zhenotdel. 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.
