Nikos Zachariadis[a] (27 April 1903–1 August 1973) was a Greek Marxist–Leninist revolutionary who served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece from 1931 to 1956. He led the communist and anti-fascist resistance in Greece during the Second World War as well as the communist Democratic Army of Greece during the Greek Civil War.
In 1949, he was forced into exile in the Soviet Union following the victory of counter-revolutionary forces in Greece. When the revisionist clique of Nikita Khrushchev rose to power in the 1950s, he was forcefully exiled to Siberia due to his opposition to Khrushchev.[1]
