Anatoly Lamanov was one of the central figures of the 1921 Kronstadt rebellion in the Soviet Union.

Kronstadt

Little is known of his early life. As a third-year student in 1917, he had a significant part in the Kronstadt Uprising of 1921 and later served as the Chairman of the Kronstadt Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies (the "Kronstadt Soviet"), as well as on the editorial board of its newspaper, "Izvestiia".

He was also head of Kronstadt's 'Non-Party Group', which in August 1917 merged with the "Union of Socialist-Revolutionaries Maximalists". Lamanov subsequently joined the Communist party but resigned during the 1921 uprising. He was the editor of the anti-Bolshevik rebels' "Izvestiia (News)" newsletter of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee. Shortly after the uprising, Lamanov was executed as a counter-revolutionary by the Bolsheviks.
