Alain Krivine (French:[a.lɛ̃kʁi.vin]; 10 July 1941 – 12 March 2022) was a French Trotskyist leader.
Early life
Krivine was born in July 1941 in Paris, France, the child of Pierre Léon Georges Krivine, a stomatologist, and Esther Lautman, the sister of French Resistance fighter Albert Lautman. The Krivine family originally came from Ukraine, having fled to France during the antisemitic pogroms of the Russian Empire in the 19th century.[1]
Career
Krivine was one of the leaders of the May 1968 revolt in Paris, and was the last of the generation radicalised in the 1960s to serve on the political bureau of the LCR. He was the candidate of the LC at the French presidential election of 1969, getting 1.05% of the votes. He released his first book that same year "La Farce électorale" (The Electoral Farce). In 1974, he participated in the founding of the Front Communiste Révolutionnaire which became the LCR in that same year. He was the FCR's presidential candidate in 1974, coming in ninth place with around 0.37% of votes. He released his second book in 1974 titled "Questions sur la révolution" (Questions on the révolution).
He wrote the preface for André Fichaut's 2003 autobiography "Sur le pont. Souvenirs d'un ouvrier trotskiste breton" (On the bridge. Memories of a Breton Trotskyist worker). Later in 2006, he wrote an autobiography titled "Ça te passera avec l'age." (That'll go away with age)[2]
