About Vlas Chubar
Vlas Yakovlevich Chubar was a Ukrainian Bolshevik revolutionary and a Soviet politician. Chubar was arrested during the Great Terror of 1937–1938 and executed early in 1939. Chubar became a candidate (non-voting) member of the Central Committee's Politburo in November 1926 – the first, and for many years the only ethnic Ukrainian to reach this level. This was the first of three documents bearing this signature from which the Kyiv Court of Appeal reached its verdict that Chubar was complicit in genocide. The Soviet government cleared Chubar of all charges during the first wave of destalinization in 1955.
