Mendel Khatayevich
Mendel Khatayevich, (b. 3 October 1893 in Gomel, d. 30 October 1937 in Moscow; Russian: Мендель Маркович Хатаeвич), was a Soviet politician.[1]
In 1913 Khatayevich joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.[1] Between 1917 and 1919 he was in various leading Communist Party of the Soviet Union functions in his native Gomel.[1] In 1921 he was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR (now Ukraine).[1] Between 1932 and 1937 Khatayevich was a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine.[1] In 1933 he became 1st Secretary of the Dnipropetrovsk regional committee and from 17 March 1937 was 2nd Secretary of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine.[1] He was one of the main organizers of collectivization in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which caused the death by starvation of millions of people.[1] On 7 September 1937 he was arrested,[1] and on 27 October 1937 sentenced to death on charges of participating in a counterrevolutionary terrorist organization and executed.[1] In 1956 Khatayevich was rehabilitated and restored in the party.[1] In a ruling on 13 January 2010 Kiev’s Court of Appeals found Khatayevich and other Bolshevik leaders: Joseph Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Pavel Postyshev, Stanislav Kosior and Vlas Chubar guilty of "organizing genocide of the Ukrainian ethnic group".[2]
