He became active at an early age in revolutionary activities, for which he was imprisoned for five years in France. On his release he returned to revolutionary Russia, where he threw himself into the defence of the fledgling government. After Lenin’s death he became increasingly alienated from Stalin’s clique and was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1936 for speaking out against the purges. He wrote numerous novels, poems, memoirs, and political essays, and died in exile in Mexico in 1947.view less
