V. Volodarsky (Russian: В. Володарский; December 11, 1891 – June 20, 1918) (born: Moisey Markovich Goldstein) was a Marxist revolutionary and Soviet politician.

[8] In mid-October 1917, while the Bolsheviks were debating whether to try to overthrow the Russian Provisional Government, Volodarsky sided with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev, who were against the insurrection.

He was appointed editor of the Red Gazette in Petrograd and chief of the Press Division of the Executive Committee of the Union of Northern Communes.

His colleague Anatoly Lunacharsky wrote: He was against the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, but remained silent on the topic in order to maintain party discipline.

[10] Volodarsky was assassinated on June 20, 1918, by Grigory Ivanovich Semyonov, a member of the Central Battle Unit of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, during labour unrest at the Obukhov Works in Petrograd.
