Suren Spandari Spandaryan (Armenian: Սուրեն Սպանդարի Սպանդարյան; 1882 in Tiflis – 24 September 1916) was an Armenian revolutionary in the Russian Empire, literary critic, publicist and one of the founders of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. In January 1912, he was elected to the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks at the Prague Conference.[1] In March of the same year, Spandaryan was arrested in Baku. Lenin, who considered Spandaryan a "very valuable and prominent worker"[2] supported Spandaryan's father financially after the arrest, since the latter at that time lived in Paris without any means.[3] Spandaryan was sentenced to lifelong exile to Siberia, where he died four years later.[4]
