Everything about Leo Jogiches totally explained
Leo(n) Jogiches (
17 July 1867 –
10 March 1919), also known by his party name of
Leon Tyszka (
Tyska,
Tyshko,
Tyshka) was a
Marxist revolutionary active in
Lithuania,
Poland, and
Germany.
A contemporary in
Vilnius, his birthplace, of
Felix Dzerzhinsky and Arkadi Kemer, little is known of Jogiches' early years due to his secretive work habits ingrained through years of conspiratorial work. He joined a social democratic workers circle before being forced into exile. In 1893 he helped form the
Social Democratic Party of the
Kingdom of Poland along with
Rosa Luxemburg. Jogiches and Luxemburg fell in love with each other, a love that lasted their whole lives, through difficulties, and even if they never became a real couple. The work of the two can't be separated in the least, although a clear division of labour is observable, with Jogiches the organiser and Luxemburg the theorist.
Jogiches was a founding member of the
Spartacus League, a revolutionary
left-wing organization of the
Social Democratic Party of Germany, formed at the beginning of
World War I by
Karl Liebknecht, Luxemburg,
Franz Mehring and others. On
1 January,
1919 the League became the
Communist Party of Germany.
The Spartacus League led the German
communist revolution of 1918/1919, which failed, after which Luxemburg and Liebknecht were murdered by government troops. Jogiches was murdered in
Berlin while trying to investigate the assassination of Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.
