## Bio

Grigory Zinoviev joined the Bolsheviks in 1903 and became Lenin's aide-de-camp after the failed 1905 uprising, spending years in European exile. He returned in 1917 and opposed the October Revolution alongside Lev Kamenev, costing him Lenin's trust even as he rose to chairman of the Petrograd Soviet, the Comintern in 1919, and the Politburo in 1921. After Lenin's death in 1924 he formed a troika with Kamenev and Stalin against Trotsky, but by 1926 had switched sides into the United Opposition — a move that got him stripped of his posts and expelled from the party. He submitted to Stalin, rejoined, was expelled again in 1932 over the Ryutin affair, and rejoined once more in 1933. A year later he was sentenced to ten years for alleged complicity in Sergei Kirov's assassination; the Great Purge pulled him back for a show trial on treason charges, and he was executed in August 1936.
