Red Love: A Reader on Alexandra Kollontai

The book is devoted to Russian revolutionary, politician, diplomat and Marxist theoretician Alexandra Kollontai. She fought for abortion rights, secularized marriage, and paid maternity leave‑and considered “comradely love” to be a political force. This reader, in which artists and thinkers revisit Kollontai’s legacy in light of current feminist struggles, stems from a research project by CuratorLab at Konstfack and Tensta konsthall that accompanied Dora García’s exhibition “Red Love”. It also features the first English translation of the 1977 biographical play Kollontai by Swedish writer Agneta Pleijel.
