    Somewhat misleading, since he started serving under Lenin; continued working until illness prevented it in 1928, then retired in 1930, and died in 1936 at age 63.
    So he was no longer working in that position when homosexuality was re-criminalized in 1934.

      Why do you think Stalin allowed the country and himself to be represented by an openly gay guy in the 1920s if he was coming for them?
