Konstantin Lomonosov

Konstantin Ruslanovich Lomonosov (9 December, 2445 - 5 March, 2509), born Kostyantyn Ruslanovych Denysenko, was a revolutionary and neo-communist political leader of Ukrainian origin who served as the first Premier of the Commune of Lvov from 2482 until his assassination in 2509. He also served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Menshikov (2472 - 2480) and the Chairman of the Provisional Government (2480 - 2482). Despite his hatred for autocratic rule, Lomonsov had ruled Lvov at first collectively, but would later transition into consolidated power. He identified himself with the Koslovist interpretation of Marxism.
Born to a family of labourers in the city of Novyy Sevastopolʹ on Menshikov (now Lvov) , Lomonsov studied law at the Novyy Sevastopolʹ State University before becoming familiarized with the works of many prominent revolutionary authors, most notably Dmitry Koslov, a descendant of the long dead Vladimir Koslov. He'd go on to join the Communist Party of Menshikov, where he raised and edited for leader Krasimir Dyrbov's newspaper Slova robitnykiv and organized protests against the UEG's hold on the planet. Arrested and tried for treason in 2468, Lomonosov was able to be found not gulity through citing his rights of speach and protest. An assassination attempt a few weeks later by supposed ONI agents would leave him unable to see in his left eye. Nonetheless, he'd continued to fund the Communist Party and, by 2470, Lomonosov was considered the most fervent supporter of Dyrbov's policies. When the latter had died after a long battle with oral cancer in 2472, the former took his role as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Menshikov.
Lomonosov is widely considered to be one of the most influential political figures in the history of Lvov. His humble beginnings and his charismatic charm made him popular amongst the working class, even being on good terms with some left-leaning politicians. The overthrow of the UEG-backed government made him a revered figure for the interplanetary communist movement. His birth city, Novyy Sevastopolʹ, would be renamed Lomonosovgrad in his honour after his assassination by a disgruntled party member, Mikhail Buzinsky, in 2509. Lomonosov retains a popular image on most of Lvov, but after the communist government was overthrown after the Human-Covenant War, his reign is often characterized as senselessly brutal.
