Victor Serge

Victor Serge (born Victor Lvovich Kibalchich; December 30, 1890 – November 17, 1947), was a Russian revolutionary and writer. Originally an anarchist, he joined the Bolsheviks five months after arriving in Petrograd in January 1919 and later worked for the Comintern as a journalist, editor and translator. He was critical of the Stalinist regime and remained a revolutionary Marxist until his death. He is best remembered for his *Memoirs of a Revolutionary* and series of seven 'witness-novels' chronicling the lives of revolutionaries of the first half of the 20th Century. **Source**: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Serge">Victor Serge</a> on Wikipedia (Wikipedia contributors, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>).
