Lajos Magyar (1891 - 1938) was a Hungarian Communist politician, active in the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, after which fall he was imprisoned by the Horthy regime. Magyar later came to the Soviet Union as the result
of an exchange of prisoners; there he worked on the staff of the Comintern, and was sent on
mission to China for an extended period. In 1934, Magyar was falsely
accused of being involved in the Kirov assassination; he was arrested and sentenced to
prison convicted as a "Zinovievite-Terrorist". A
couple of years later he was executed.
