Biography
Stanisław Kosior was born in

Węgrów in
Siedlce gubernia of
Imperial Russia, which is the Polish region of
Podlachia, to a family of humble factory workers. Because of poverty, he was forced to emigrate to
Yuzovka (modern
Donetsk), where he started working at one of the steel mills. In
1907 he joined the
Russian Social Democratic Labour Party and quickly became the head of the local branch of the party. In
1913 he was transferred to
Moscow and then to
Kyiv and
Kharkiv, where he headed the forming of local cells of the communist organisations. In
1915 he was arrested by the
Okhrana and forcibly resettled to
Siberia.
After the
February Revolution he moved to
Saint Petersburg, where he headed the local branch of the
Bolsheviks and the
Narva municipal committee. After the
October Revolution Kosior moved to the German-controlled areas of the
Ober-Ost and Ukraine, where he tried to promote the Bolshevik cause. After the
Brest Peace Treaty he moved back to
Russia, where in
1920 he became the secretary of the
All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and since
1922 he headed the Siberian branch of the
communist party. Between
1925 and
1928 he was a secretary of the party's
central committee and in
1928 he became
Secretary General of the Ukrainian SSR Communist Party (KP(b)U). Among his tasks was conducting the forcible
collectivization, which resulted with the Great Famine in
1931 and
