Ilya Rubanovich

Ilya Adolfovich Rubanovich[1] (22 May 1859[2] – 16 October 1920) was a Russian revolutionary who joined 'The People's Will' ('Narodnaya Volya') in the 1880s.

During the repression which followed, Rubanovich fled abroad, eventually settling in Paris, France, and becoming a French citizen.

When the Socialist Revolutionary Party (PSR) was founded in 1901, Rubanovich joined it and became its official representative abroad.

Together with Nikolai Rusanov, he edited the party's official journal, Herald of the Russian Revolution (Vestnik Russkoi Revoliutsii).

Rubanovich sided with the 'Defencist' wing of the Russian PSR and the 'social patriots' in the SFIO, who supported the Entente war effort.
