Zinovy Alekseyevich Peshkov. He was a Russian-born French General and Diplomat born Yeshua Zolomon Movshevich Sverdlov (Russian name: Zinovy Mikhailovich Sverdlov) to Mikhail Israelovich Sverdlov and Elizaveta Solomonovna in Nizhny Novgorod.

Zinovy was the brother of Sophie (Barnet) Swerdlow, Sara (David) Swedlow, Sofie (Leon) Auerbach, Yakov M Sverdlov, Benjamin "Berl" Sverdlov, Benjamin M Sverdlov, Sara Sverdlova, and Lev Mikhailovich Sverdlov.

In 1896, Maxim Gorky met the Sverdlov family at an exhibition and soon became a close friend. During Gorky's exile to Arzamas in 1902, Zinovy worked as his secretary.

To evade the Tsarist Russia restrictions for Jews to live in big cities, Zinovy Sverdlov was baptized and officially changed his name. Gorky (real name Alexey Peshkov) became his Godfather.

Zinovy was the husband of Lydia Bourago and the father of Elizaveta Pechoff.
