[edit] Old talk
"Zinoviev took virtually no part in the October revolution, and Lenin did not forget his faint-heartedness, eventually mentioning it his Testament." This is a biased statement in violation of the POV rule. Zinoviev opposed the October 17 coup on democratic grounds, not cowardice or "faint-heartedness." Somebody really needs to go though Wikipedia's Russian history entries and remove all the Leninist propaganda.
[edit] Untitled
- A Google search traced the use of the term "faint-heartedness" back to the "Notes" section of the Marxists.org reprint of Lunacharsky's "silhouette" of Zinoviev. Zinoviev/Kamenev's disagreement with Lenin/Trotsky in October 1917 was mostly tactical, but I changed the Wiki wording from "faint-heartedness" to "behavior" to ensure NPOV.

[edit] Categories
My links to the Jewish categories do not work. Could someone mend them, please?
[edit] Family in the US?
Would you happen to have a source for the information about Zinoviev's relatives currently living in the US? I am aware of a reference in the Soviet archives to one of his in-laws, a college instructor, losing his job in 1954 (sic!) due in part to his link to Zinoviev, but what's the source for the US connection?

[edit] Periodization
I have serious problems with the periodization of Zinoviev's biography here, which emphasizes his various turns and machinations as a factional leader rather than his actual behavior as a political figure. Zinoviev was, in turns, a chief theoretician of the Bolshevik faction along with Lenin (pre-1917), a figure of the revolution (1917), a figure of the Civil War (1918), head of the Communist International (1919-1925 or something), de facto first among equals as head of the Soviet regime (with Kamenev and Stalin), and THEN a political oppositionist.
Coverage of Zinoviev as Comintern chief and as political chief is really quite poor. I'd recommend a reperiodization coupled with a substantial re-write.
