Reza Radmanesh (Persian: رضا رادمنش; 1905/1906–1983) was an Iranian physicist and communist politician. According to Abbas Milani, he was "one of the most prominent members of the Iranian communist movement".^[3]

Early life and education

Radmanesh was born into a Gilak landed upper-class family. He helped the local Jangalis as a teenager; and joined the Socialist Party while he studied at Dar ul-Funun. He went to France to study physics, and met Taghi Arani, before he returned to Iran as a junior member of The Fifty-Three. He was sentenced to five years of imprisonment.^[4]

Career

Radmanesh was a leading and dominating personality in the Tudeh Party of Iran, serving as a member of the party's central committee, head of its youth wing and its parliamentary leader before taking office as the first Secretary in 1948.^[5]
