A Communist Revolutionary Zigmas Angarietis: his Personality and Aspects of his Activity

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present Zigmas Angarietis as a politician, concentrates on the factors which formed his personal views and the evolution of his world outlook as well as attempts to estimate his political activities from a historical point of view. The author of the article claims that social inequality of that period and Marxist ideas encouraged him to become a professional revolutionary; his exile in 1915–1917 made him become a member of the Russian Bolshevik party. The author also discloses Z. Angarietis’ hostility towards Lithuania as an independent state and concentrates on his role as a promoter of the communist ideas in Lithuania in 1919, as a propagator of the Bolshevik ideology and as a founder of Lithuania’s communist party in 1920–1937.
