Pierre Georges Daix (24 May 1922 – 2 November 2014) was a French journalist, writer and art historian.

[3] In July 1940, he created a student club, the Centre laïque des auberges de la jeunesse (Claj), which served as a legal screen for the clandestine Union of Communist Students.

[4] When David Rousset (1912-1997) spoke out about Stalin's vast system of prison camps,[5] Daix attacked him as a liar, denying that the GULAG system existed in the Soviet Union, in a 16 page article in Les Lettres Françaises, entitled "Pourquoi M. David Rousset a-t-il inventé les camps soviétiques?".

[6] Rousset brought libel charges against Daix and there was a public trial in France, which Rousset, who had told the truth about the camps, won in 1950.

[7] [8][9] As a French communist, Daix continued his uncritical support for the Soviet Union for many years, though late in life he admitted he had been wrong.
