Aron Baron (Russian: Аро́н Дави́дович Ба́рон; 1891–1937) was an anarcho-syndicalist revolutionary and theorist, brother of the Red Cossacks Army Ataman Mikhail Baron. Pseudonyms included Faktorovich, Kantorovich, Polevoy.
As a teenager, Baron participated in the 1905 Russian Revolution and was banished to Siberia as punishment. He fled to the United States, where he lived in Chicago. There he and his wife (Fanya) was arrested for starting a demonstration against unemployment. Baron repatriated to Ukraine in 1917. His lectures and writings grew in popularity and the Kiev bakers' union elected him as a representative. Following that year's October Revolution, Baron moved to Kharkov with Fanya. He participated in the birth of the Nabat movement, of which he would become its secretariat and a prominent leader, alongside Peter Arshinov and Volin. Baron and Volin were co-editors of the confederation's journal.[1]
