Alain Krivine (French: [a.lɛ̃ kʁi.vin]; 10 July 1941 – 12 March 2022) was a French Trotskyist leader.
Early life[edit]
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[edit]
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 LCR at the French presidential election of 1969, getting 1.05% of the votes.
He was a member of the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR), which is the French section of the reunified Fourth International. He was a member of the LCR's political bureau until March 2006, when he resigned from that committee. He was a member of the European Parliament from 1999 to 2004.
Later in 2006, he wrote an autobiography titled "Ça te passera avec l'age."[2]
Death[edit]
Krivine died on 12 March 2022 in Paris, at the age of 80.[3]
