Evgraf Litkens

Evgraf Alexandrovich Litkens (Russian: Евграф Александрович Литкенc; 1888 - 1922)[1] was a Russian Bolshevik who played a major role in the development of Narkompros following the Bolshevik seizure of power.

As a small boy Evgraf Litkens met Trotsky, when his father harboured Trotsky following the defeat of the 1905 Revolution. He was a graduate of the University of St Petersburg.

In 1917 he was given a mandate from the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party to reorganise Narkompros, making it a more efficient organisation.

He was murdered by Crimean bandits in Yalta in 1922.
