Vadim Medvedev
Vadim Medvedev was a prominent Soviet politician and economist born on March 29, 1929, in the village of Mokhankovo, Yaroslavl Oblast. He played a crucial role during the period of Perestroika under Mikhail Gorbachev, serving in various high-ranking positions within the Communist Party, including as a member of the Politburo. Medvedev was instrumental in promoting ideological liberalization, advocating for the release of restricted literature and the legal rehabilitation of those repressed during Stalin's regime. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he shifted away from politics, contributing to the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and collaborating with the Gorbachev Foundation. He passed away in February 2023, leaving behind a legacy as one of the last surviving members of the original Politburo before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
