Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin was a Russian revolutionary and communist politician. After the October Revolution, he became a member of a left-communist opposition group with Preobrazhensky that supported Trotsky over Lenin. During the New Economic Policy, he became a right-opportunist and supported the bourgeoisie[1] and kulaks. He formed an anti-party bloc with Alexei Rykov and Mikhail Tomsky.[2]

Political positions

Bukharin believed the peasants were aligned with the bourgeoisie and supported the imperialist World War.[3]

Bukharin was executed in 1937 after the Moscow Trials revealed that he had joined an anti-Soviet bloc with Leon Trotsky and Grigory Zinoviev.[4]
