―*Leon Malenyev at the Alliance of Nations*

## Leon Malenyev

Secretary Chairman **Leon Chavatangakwunua**, also known by his pseudonym **Leon Malenyev** or **Malenyev**, is a Contanan revolutionary, politician, and political theorist who has been serving as the head of government of United Contana since 1910. He is the architect of Malenyevism, the predominant variant of Marcian socio-economics. Chavatangakwunua played a significant role in transforming Kontania, and subsequently United Contana, into a communist state governed by the Contanan Communist Party.

## Biography

Born into a poor family in the Kontanian Empire (now part of United Contana), Chavatangakwunua was drawn to revolutionary socialist politics following his brother's execution. He relocated to Kyow in 1901, where he became a senior theorist of Marcian Socio-economics. Inspired by Karlos Marcia's political theory, Chavatangakwunua developed Malenyevism upon joining the Marcianist Contanan Labour Party.

Chavatangakwunua was instrumental in the party's ideological split, leading the Rotski faction against other factions and promoting Malenyevism within the party. He advocated for the transformation of the Century of Revolutions into a Contana-wide proletarian revolution, which he believed would result in the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement with socialism. Chavatangakwunua led the Rotskis during the 1907 Revolution, ultimately declaring a communist republic and deposing the King.

Under Chavatangakwunua's leadership, United Contana underwent rapid industrialization and collectivization through the implementation of a command economy and the pursuit of socialist reforms. This strategy led to the development and modernization of the entire continent. Chavatangakwunua's ideology has been adapted and interpreted into different schools of thought worldwide, with the number of Marco-Malenyevists steadily increasing, cementing his position as one of the most influential leaders of the century.

Chavatangakwunua is particularly renowned for his massive education and science plan, which has elevated United Contana to a position of technological supremacy in the region, rivaling Arcasia. Through his commitment to educational reforms and investment in scientific research, United Contana has emerged as a powerhouse in technological innovation, driving economic growth and solidifying its status as a global superpower.

## Trivia

* Malenyev is inspired by three famed communist revolutionaries; Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin.
	+ His life in the Kontanian Empire appeared to be akin to Lenin's; his brother's execution inspired him to become an adherent for revolutionary socialism, and he played a key role in the ideological split of the Marcianist Contanan Labour Party, leading the Rotski faction. His policies and family are akin to Stalin's; Malenyev implemented the policies of rapid industrialization and collectivization, he was born into a poor family of Kyovian minorities, and United Contana's economy is built through centralized planning throughout his four decade-long reign. His advocacy for permanent revolution is similar to Trotsky's, though it is possible that Malenyev's version is a modified version of the idea.
* A part of Malenyev's speech at the 1957 Alliance of Nations Assembly Meeting, "Communism will bury you.", is a reference to a quote made by Nikita Khrushchev addressed to Western ambassadors at a reception in the Polish embassy in Moscow: "We will bury you.". This quote has been negatively received by Western contemporaries, however modern translators have suggested that the quote was mistranslated.
