Soviet Union Pavel Postychev Politician Individual Stamp Mint NH

Pavel Petrovich Postyshev ( 18 September [O.S. 6 September] 1887 – 26 February 1939) was a Soviet politician. He is considered to be one of the principal architects of the famine of 1932–1933, known in Ukraine as Holodomor.

Postyshev was born in Ivanovo-Voznesensk in Vladimir Governorate.

He was a member of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party from 1904, then a member of the Communist Party (Bolshevik) in Siberia. In 1923 he was reassigned from his position in the Far Eastern Republic to supervise organization of the Communist Party committee in Kiev Governorate (guberniya) in central Ukraine. In 1925 Postyshev became secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine, or CPU. In 1926–30 he became a member of the Politburo and Organizational Bureau of Ukraine's Bolshevik Party.

As secretary of the Kharkiv Oblast and city Party committees, Postyshev organized the purge of Trotskyists and Ukrainian national-communists as well as industrialization and collectivization campaigns in the region. In July 1930 he was promoted to the office of secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik) in Moscow and put in charge of propaganda and organization.
