Lazar Kaganovich

Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich (1893– 1991) was a Soviet politician and administrator and a close associate of Joseph Stalin. His ruthless efficiency in carrying out Stalin's massive purges earned him the nicknam "Iron Lazar". Indeed, Kaganovich took few steps to save his own brother when he was accused of counter-revolutionary activities. Kaganovich survived Stalin's death and the USSR's pulling away from Stalinism, dying at the age of 97.
