Revision as of 23:10, 12 December 2022
Aleksandr Evdokimovich Trusov (Template:Lang-ru) was a Russian Bolshevik revolutionary. Originally from Borisoglebsk, Trusov was exiled to Astrakhan for political reasons. In Astrakhan he became a prominent figure in the Bolshevik movement, before dying on ill health little over a year after the October Revolution.
Early life and entry into revolutionary politics
He was born in 17 January 1888 in Borisoglebsk, Tambov Governorate.[1][2] Trusov joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1904.[3] He was active in the Russian revolution of 1905 in Borisoglebsk.[3] Trusov began working as a teacher at age 20.[2] In 1909 he was exiled to Astrakhan and placed under police surveillance.[2]
Exile and war
He continued revolutionary activities in Astrakhan.[2] In June 1914 he was arrested and expelled from Astrakhan.[4] In 1915 he arrived in Samara, where he became a member of the Samara Bolshevik Party Organization.[4] He was drafted into the army, where he conducted revolutionary agitation among soldiers.[1]
1917 revolutions
Returning from the Front back to Astrakhan in 1917, he rejoined the political movement there.[2] On 14 August 1917 he was elected chairman of the Astrakhan Bolshevik Party Organization and became the editor of the newspaper Astrakhan Rabochy ('Astrakhan Worker').[2] He was elected to the Russian Constituent Assembly from the Astrakhan constituency in late 1917.[5]
Factional conflict
After the establishment of Soviet power in Astrakhan, Trusov would become the chairman of the Astrakhan Provincial Council of Trade Unions and a member of the Astrakhan City Party Committee.[2] However, he found himself at logger-heads with the Astrakhan Provincial Party Committee.[6] In May 1918 the Astrakhan Provincial Party Committee reprimanded Trusov for placing trade union interests ahead of party interests.[7] Trusov responded by setting up his own faction, the Group of Bolsheviks-Communists, independent from the City and Provincial Party Committees.[6][7] The Trusov-led faction, adressing the Party Central Committee charged that the party organization in Astrakjan had been overtaken by violently intolerant newcomers with a limited rudimentary understanding of communism.[8] Trusov managed to gather a significant support in the Bolshevik ranks in Astrakhan.[6] The Astrakhan factional conflict was brought to the attention of the central party leadership, but faced with a myriad of contradictory accusations from both groups the party chairman Yakov Sverdlov refused to take sides.[6] On January 11, 1919 the Central Committee delegated Viktor Radus Zenkovich to deal with the split in Astrakhan.[7] In his speech to the Second All-Russian Congress of Trade Unions held January 16-25, 1919 Sverdlov expressed concern over the split between trade unions and party in Astrakhan and criticized neglect towards trade unions by the party organizations.[7]
Death
In April 1919 Trusov was recalled to Moscow, but fell ill and died en route in the night between 12 and 13 April 1919.[2]
Memorials
A street in central Astrakhan was named after him.[9] Likewise the Trusovsky District on right bank of the Volga river in Astrakhan city was named after him.[9]
