Lev Nitoburg (Jan 1899 - 5 Nov 1937) was a Russian journalist and novelist. He was executed in 1937 for alleged counter-revolutionary activities.
Life[edit]
Lev Nitoburg was born in Vladikavkaz, the son of a priest.
During the Russian Civil War, he fought in the Caucasus with the Red Army. After the war, he worked as an economist until 1928, after which he became a writer and journalist and joined the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers.
In 1929, he published a story called "Manometer", which was about a sabotage of a thermal power plant. His colleagues at the RAPP accused this story of providing an ideological justification for sabotage.
In 1932, he moved to Arkhangelsk with his son, and worked as a journalist. In 1933, he moved to Leningrad.
In March 1934, he was sentenced to 3 years of hard labor. He was released early on November 23, 1935.
On September 22, 1937, he was arrested and later sentenced to death for allegedly collaborating with a counter-revolutionary group. He was shot on November 5.
Nitoburg was rehabilitated on March 6, 1957, during the process of destalinization of the Soviet Union.

Nitoburg had a son, Eduard Lvovich Nitoburg, who became a noted ethnographer at the Russian Academy.[1]
