Enemies called Yakov Sverdlov "the black devil of the revolution", and friends and associates - "the main party organizer." The Nizhny Novgorod boy, an unsuccessful pharmacist, during the years of the First Russian Revolution became the brightest child prodigy of the Bolsheviks. At the age of twenty, Comrade Andrei Uralsky headed the party organizations of Yekaterinburg and Perm. He was not broken by either prison or exile - Yakov fled at the first opportunity, and when there was none, he educated himself and taught hundreds of followers. Not least thanks to the efforts of Sverdlov, the Bolsheviks were able to make the October Revolution and completely take power in the country into their own hands. Now most of our contemporaries consider Yakov Sverdlov just one of a series of fiery revolutionaries, while it was he who became the architect of the executive power system and the actual author of the first Soviet Constitution. The management mechanisms he created successfully survived the change of eras and migrated from the Soviet Union to the Russian Federation in a little changed form. Yakov Sverdlov lived only 33 years old, but his life path was incredibly full of global events, in which Comrade Andrei acted not only as a participant, but also as an inspirer. The fascinating biography of the second person in the hierarchy of the Soviet state after Lenin is fraught with many lessons for the present and the future.
