Biography
Arseny Dolgov (1873-1937) was a Russian politician who served in various capacities during the transition from Imperial to Soviet Russia. His political career spanned a period of unprecedented social and governmental upheaval, as he navigated the complex and dangerous landscape of early Soviet politics.
Dolgov was executed at the Butovo firing range in 1937 during Stalin's Great Purge. His death exemplifies the fate of many political figures from the pre-Soviet and early Soviet eras who fell victim to the regime's paranoid elimination of perceived rivals and ideological opponents.
