Alexander Martinov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Martinov (1865 – 1935) was a Menshevik before the Russian revolutions of 1917, and for a few years after the revolution an opponent of the Soviet government.
He joined the Communist Party in 1923 as an opponent of the "Left Opposition." He was a chief architect of the "bloc of four classes."
Martinov was an advocate of the two stage theory, that "fully" capitalist government needed to run its course in Russia before Communism or Socialism could be possible.
