Alexandra Kollontai became the first female to hold a minister position, as the People's Commissar for Social Welfare in Soviet Russia in 1917.

Fortunately, the attackers did not prevail and Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs Georgi V. Chicherin proposed negotiations, which led to the cessation of hostilities and to peace.
