About Nikolai Bukharin

Nikolai Bukharin (9 October 1888 {27 September O.S.} – 15 March 1938) was a Bolshevik revolutionary and theorist. Initially a Left Bolshevik, Bukharin became a leading proponent of the New Economic Policy re-introducing some market institutions. He later allied with Joseph Stalin after the death of Vladimir Lenin and supported his doctrine of "socialism in one country" and purge of Leon Trotsky. However, he was removed from government after opposing Stalinist policies such as collectivization and the end of the NEP in 1929. He was reelected to the Central Committee in 1934, but then was executed on charges of treason during the Great Purge. .
