Chair of the rules commission in 1903, later the conciliator on the Central Committee
Born into a merchant family in Yaroslavl, he finished the technical school at Ivanovo-Voznesensk. Arrested in 1898 in the case of the St Petersburg League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class, he was banished to Yaroslavl and then Voronezh, and with Shchekoldin organised the Northern Workers' Union. He emigrated in 1902 and handled transport for Iskra, heading its transport bureau in Vilnius. Under the alias "Boris Glebov" he attended the Second Congress as a consultative delegate, chaired the rules commission and reported for it, and was elected to the Central Committee as a supporter of Lenin. After the congress he put reconciliation with the Mensheviks first and opposed convening the Third Congress. He was arrested in February 1905, withdrew from party work after 1907 and took his own life in Khabarovsk in 1913.
