Béla Kun
Hungarian Communist revolutionary and politician who was the de factoleader of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919.
During the Great Purge of the late 1930s, Kun was accused of Trotskyism and arrested on 28 June 1937. After a brief incarceration and interrogation, he was hauled before a judicial troika on charges of having acted as the leader of a "counter-revolutionary terrorist organisation." Kun was found guilty and sentenced to death at the end of this brief secret trial. The sentence was carried out later the same day at the Kommunarka shooting ground.
