Kommunistka (in ) was a communist magazine from the Soviet Union, associated to the Zhenotdel, founded by Inessa Armand and Alexandra Kollontai in 1920.
Kommunistka was published on a monthly basis. The magazine was targeted specially to lower class women, and explored the way to achieve women's emancipation, not only in a theoretical manner, but practical, as the Russian Revolution by itself would not solve the women's inequality and oppression in the family and society. 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".
