Life
Kuibyshev was a commander in the Red Army in the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1920 . He became secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1923 as part of a revision against the supporters of Trotsky after the 10th Party Congress (1925 renamed Communist All-Union Party (Bolsheviks) - WKP (B)) . The Secretariat of the Central Committee in 1922 consisted of the newly appointed General Secretary Stalin and the Secretaries Molotov , Kuibyshev, Yaroslavsky and Mikhailov , all loyal supporters of Stalin. Kuibyshev was from 1923 to 1926 chairman of the Central Control Commission of the party.
From 1923 to 1935 he was a member of the Council of People's Commissars , from 1923 to 1927 as People's Commissar of the Workers 'and Peasants' Inspection and from 1927 to 1935 as Chairman of the powerful state planning ( Gosplan ). He was responsible
- for the first five-year plan of 1928,
- for the construction of large industrial complexes and their infrastructure ( e.g. in the Donets Basin ),
- jointly responsible for the first Stalinist show trials of 1928 in Shakhty ( Shakhty trial ) and 1930 against industrial representatives and the so-called technical intelligentsia
- jointly responsible for the forced collectivization of agriculture from 1928 to 1932 and its fatal consequences such as the annihilation of the kulaks and the famine in the Ukraine ( Holodomor ) and other parts of the Soviet Union.
As a member of the Politburo of the WKP (B) he was a supporter of Stalin and one of the most powerful politicians in the Soviet Union from December 19, 1927 to January 25, 1935 .
Kuibyshev's death, like many other deaths of the time, was a mystery. The 1938 assertion of chief prosecutor Vyshinsky that he by NKVD boss Jagoda medicine was poisoned, can also act as fake charge against the then sentenced to death are counted Jagoda. Yagoda's admission to having murdered Kuibyshev, Menshinsky and Maxim Gorky was probably also forced.
