Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov (born Skryabin; 9 March 1890 – 8 November 1986) was a Soviet revolutionary, diplomat, propagandist, and politician. He was the last-surviving major participant in the October Revolution at the time of his death in 1986.
Molotov was born in the Vyatka province in 1890. He joined the Bolshevik faction of the RSDLP in 1906 at the age of 16, adopting the name Molotov (from molot, meaning 'hammer' or 'mallet'). Molotov served as an editor for Pravda; he was arrested and exiled twice by the tsarist regime for agitation. He was a member of the Petrograd Military Revolutionary Committee which planned the October Revolution of 1917.
