Nazarii Zuichenko

In 1888, Nazarii Semenovych Zuichenko was born in the southern Ukrainian village of Huliaipole, where he worked as a copper metallurgist.

In the wake of the 1905 Revolution, Zuichenko joined the Union of Poor Peasants, a libertarian communist group established in Huliaipole by Voldemar Antoni.

[1] Following a series of robberies committed by the group, during which he set fire to property of the Russian nobility,[2] Zuichenko was tracked down in Katerynoslav and arrested by the police.

[5] His testimony, which detailed their plot to assassinate the local police chief and move their activities to Katerynoslav, provided the prosecution with the evidence necessary to take the anarchists to trial.

[11] On 25 April 1938, he was arrested on charges of belonging to a clandestine anarchist organization and executed, by order of the NKVD in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
