Bio
Trained as a jewelry worker, Souvarine became a socialist journalist and an advocate of the Third International. From May 1919 he helped animate the French committee supporting it and subsequently published Bulletin communiste. He became a leading figure in the French Communist Party and the Communist International. Opposition to the developing Stalinist leadership led to his expulsion in 1924 and later independent communist activity.
