Emanuel orEmmanuel Ionovich Kviring (Russian:Эммануил Ионович Квиринг;Ukrainian:Емануіл Йонович Квірінг; 13 September 1888[1] – 26 November 1937)[2] was a Soviet politician and statesman ofVolga-German descent.
Born into a German family in Friesenthal, in theSamara Governorate of theRussian Empire (present-dayNovolipovka [ru],Sovetsky District, Saratov Oblast), he became a socialist activist and politician (Socialist-Revolutionary Party from 1906 to 1912, and theBolshevik Party beginning in 1912).[3]
AfterWorld War I and theBolshevik Revolution, he was a leader of theCommunist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine (October 1918 – March 1919, and April 1923 – March 1925).[4] Upon creation of theCommunist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine in 1918, he became one of the leaders of the Yekaterinoslav wing of the party (Donets–Krivoi Rog wing) standing in opposition to the Kiev wing (Southwestern wing) led by Pyatakov and Skripnik. He was an opponent of the policy ofUkrainization, so he had to leaveKharkov forMoscow.[5] He then worked as an economist in the State Planning Committee (Gosplan).
In 1937, he was arrested and executed by theNKVD. In 1956, Kviring was posthumously rehabilitated by a decision of theUSSR Supreme Court.[6][7]
