Nikolai Bukharin was a Soviet Union politician and revolutionary. He was a significant member of the Bolshevik Party. He was also an author and worked as an editor of the popular Russian newspaper ‘Pravda.’ His political career began at the young age of 16 when he engaged in student activities at the Moscow University. Bukharin became a member of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1906 and later joined the Bolsheviks as the party’s left communist. In 1919, he joined Comintern’s executive committee and Politburo. Following World War I, he switched sides and joined the right wing and supported Bolshevik leader Lenin’s economy policy that opposed initiating rapid industrialization. In 1929, he was expelled from the Politburo. Although the politician joined another newspaper ‘Izvestia,’ he could not achieve his earlier influence ever again. Bukharin was arrested in 1937 on charges of counterrevolutionary activities and executed a year later.
