# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Molotov joined the Bolsheviks in 1906, endured arrest and internal exile twice, and rose through the party apparatus to back Stalin's consolidation in the 1920s. Made premier in 1930, he oversaw collectivisation and the famine it triggered, then the Great Purge that followed. Appointed Foreign Minister in 1939, he signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact that split Poland with Nazi Germany and swallowed the Baltics, then became Stalin's chief negotiator with the Allies through the war. After 1945 his standing crumbled; he lost his ministry in 1948 and faced public criticism at the 1952 Party Congress. Reappointed under Khrushchev in 1953, he opposed de-Stalinisation so fiercely he joined a failed coup in 1957, was exiled as ambassador to Mongolia, and by 1961 was expelled from the party entirely. He lived another twenty-five years defending Stalin to the end.
