The Zhenotdel was the women's department of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). Following the 1920 Congress of the Peoples of the East, Alexandra Kollontai convened a Congress of Eastern Women with the support of Lenin, and the Bolsheviks established Zhenotdel chapters in Bukhara and Khiva. In 1927, the Zhenotdel began the hujum campaign in Uzbekistan and encouraged women to unveil themselves.[1]
