Aleksiej Rogow

Aleksey Gavrilovich Rogov (pseudonym Trofim Ryabov; March 15, 1886 – 1950) was a Bolshevik revolutionary and Soviet politician, one of the leaders of the Krasnoyarsk Republic, a delegate to the All–Russian Constituent Assembly and a member of the All–Russian Central Executive Committee, People's Commissar of Communication Routes of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (1918).

Biography Early years. Bolshevik locksmith Aleksey Rogov was born on March 15, 1886, in the village of Durasovo, Penza Uezd, province of the same name in the family of a "proletarian" (miner).

In November 1902, Rogov was an active participant in the "ticket strike", and in August of the following year he led a three–day strike of student workers (together with Pyotr Roslyakov and V. Stroganov, who were later executed). In 1903–1904,

After the suppression of the Krasnoyarsk Uprising Rogov was imprisoned, but on May 14, 1906, he escaped (together with Aleksandr Melnikov, Innokentiy Vorontsov and some other "prominent figures of the republic") and soon appeared in Baku under the name of Trofim Ryabov. In 1906–1907 he worked in the local "Council of the Unemployed" and in the "Union of Oil Industry Workers". On instructions from the Baku Committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, he participated in the murder of the manager of the Eastern Society Plant; was arrested in the fall of 1909, but escaped from Baku Prison. came to Krasnoyarsk again: on March 19 he and former "president" Andrey Kuzmin arrived by morning train. On March 6–8, he took part in the 7th (Emergency) Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks). He also joined the seven–member board of the All–Russian Executive Committee of Railway Workers, created to manage the Department of Communication Routes.

The signature of People's Commissar Rogov is on Decree of the Council of People's Commissars No. 395 "On the Centralization of Management, Protection of Roads and Increasing Their Carrying Capacity" dated March 26, 1918, within the framework of which "the entire complex network of organizations in charge of transport" was simplified, and "unnecessary organizations" were abolished. In addition, the decree envisaged "replacing one type of [locomotive] fuel with another, in view of the possibility of completely stopping the supply of coal from the Donets Basin". This resolution was not easy for Rogov: the decree did not suit the All–Russian Executive Committee of Railway Workers and had already been rejected earlier (March 18); representatives of the railway proletariat invited to the meeting of the Council of People's Commissars sharply criticized the decree, seeing in it "a diminishment of the role of the All–Russian Executive Committee of Railway Workers".

During the Civil War, Aleksey Rogov was on the Southern and Eastern Fronts.

A street in the central district of Krasnoyarsk (former 14th Prodolnaya Street) is named after Aleksey Rogov.
