In 1902, in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod , the young revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov, with the financial support of Maxim Gorky , obtained a press to be able to clandestinely print anti-tsarist propaganda. Three years later, Sverdlov led the agit-prop in the Urals , inciting the workers to revolt by arms against the Tsarist regime, but he was arrested and sent to camps in Siberia. In 1917, when Nicholas II was overthrown, he quickly occupied an important political post.

He returned to Nizhny Novgorod, where he opposed Lev Mironov  (ru) , chairman of the party committee, and other Trotskyists .
