After the defeat of Greece in the Greco-Turkish War and the population exchange between the two countries, the Zachariadis family was forcibly relocated to Greece and fell into poverty. In 1922-23 he traveled to the Soviet Union, where he became a member of the Komsomol. He studied at various political and military institutions of the Soviet Government and of the Comintern, including the International Lenin School. Political activity in Greece.

In 1931, he was sent back to Greece to restore order in the highly factionalised KKE and in the same year, he was elected General Secretary of KKE. In 1935, during the 7th Congress of the Communist International, he was elected to its Executive Committee. In the years until 1936, Zachariadis was a successful leader of the KKE, tripling the number of its members, gaining seats in the Greek Parliament, and even acquiring control of some labor unions.

From prison, he issued a letter urging all Greeks to resist the Italian invasion of October 1940 and transform the war into an anti-fascist war. Some KKE cadre, who did not believe that the ongoing war between the big imperialist powers differed from the First World War due to the existence of the USSR on the world scene, considered that this letter was fabricated by the Metaxas regime. Zachariadis was even accused of releasing it to win the favor of Konstantinos Maniadakis and be released from prison. Zachariadis's letter remains 	Nikos Zachariadis

After the German invasion of Greece, in 1941 the Nazi Germans transferred him to the Dachau concentration camp, from where he was released in May 1945. Returning to Greece, he re-assumed the leadership of the KKE from Georgios Siantos, acting general secretary of the KKE since January 1942.

So, he decided to boycott the 1946 Greek legislative election, a starting point of the Greek civil war of 1946-49. Zachariadis conducted the military operations of the communist Democratic Army of Greece, which was formed to install a socialist People's Democracy in Greece. He ordered the ELAS commander Markos Vafiadis to abandon guerrilla warfare tactics and adopt a strategy of conventional warfare: according to Vafiadis, this had a strongly negative effect on ELAS.

During the Greek civil war, Zachariadis ordered also the assassination of various left-wing opponents of the KKE, particularly in Athens. However, Stalin had made a deal with his western allies that Greece would be considered part of the western sphere of influence after the war and was opposed -officially- to any communist seizure of power: he ordered the KKE leadership to cooperate with the British military when they landed in Greece in 1944, and refused to supply any assistance to the KKE when they took up arms against the 	Nikos Zachariadis

The military intervention of Great Britain and of the US, combined with the lack of external support from Stalin or Tito, led to the defeat of the Democratic Army of Greece in 1949. The KKE leadership and the remnants of the Democratic Army fled into exile in the USSR and other Communist countries. Post-war. The leadership of the Communist Party found refuge in Tashkent. However, following the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953	Nikos Zachariadis

In May 1956, during the 6th Plenum of the Central Committee of the KKE, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union intervened to expel Zachariadis from the post of General Secretary. In February 1957 Zachariadis was also expelled from the KKE, as were many of his supporters. Zachariadis spent the rest of his life in exile in Siberia, initially in Yakutia and later in Surgut, Russian SFSR. In 1962, desperate from the devastating conditions of his exile, he somehow managed 	Nikos Zachariadis

Whether or not his request was taken into consideration is not known. Immediately after he left the Greek embassy he was arrested by the Soviets and was taken back to Surgut. There he committed suicide, aged 70, in 1973. According to a few of his followers he was executed.

He is buried in the First Cemetery of Athens. In 2011, a National Conference of the Communist Party of Greece fully rehabilitated Nikos Zachariadis as General Secretary of the KKE. This was in line with the KKE's general political reorientation since the collapse of the Soviet Union; the party has adopted the view that the CPSU embarked on a revisionist line after Stalin	Nikos Zachariadis
