Smilga

[Combat]

Sur marxiste.org on peut trouver la biographie de Ivar Tenissovitch Smilga
(1892-1938) qui fut l'un des leaders du parti bolchevique.

"Etudiant en économie, gagné au bolchévisme avant la I° guerre mondiale. Benjamin du Comité Central, proche collaborateur de Lénine durant la préparation de l'insurrection. Participe à la guerre civile en Finlande comme commissaire politique puis comme membre de l'appareil économique

Oppositionel, il capitule en 1928, mais reprend le combat quelques années plus tard. Exécuté sans procès (sans doute car il avait refusé d'"avouer")."

La version anglaise de marxists.org a la biographie suivante:

"Chairman of the Regional Committee of the Russian Soviets in Finland in 1917, and at the time of the October Revolution was the leader of the Bolsheviks in the Baltic Fleet, a confidant of Lenin, the Latvian, Ivars Smilga, was one of the oldest party leaders. Smilga was elected to the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party in April 1917 and later belonged to the Military Revolutionary Committee. Together with Tukhachevsky, he led the Seventh Army against the Polish Army of Pilsudski in 1921. Smilga was vice-chairman of the Supreme Council of National Economy from 1921 to 1928, and of the Government Planning Commission from 1924 to 1926 and a member of the Left Opposition, but along with Preobrazhenky, reconciled with Stalin at the time of the ultra-left "Third Period" around 1929. But Stalin had Smilga expelled from the Central Committee and later from the Party. When he was banished to Siberia, a demonstration of about a thousand people gathered at the railroad station to protest. He was arrested in 1933 and condemned as a terrorist during the first Moscow Trial. The historian Vadim Rogovin quotes the occasion when, facing his Stalinist interrogators, Smilga said, "I am your enemy." Smilga was most likely executed in 1938".


Alors il semble apparemment que Smilga ait capitule puis soit revenu a la lutte( il aurait dit "je suis votre ennemi" aux interrogateurs du NKVD). Y aurait il plus de precisions sur sa vie dans les annee 30?
