You really have to pay close attention to Lithuania to have heard of Kapsukas! At least we know that this was the name borne by the city of Marijampolė, south of Lithuania, university of guelph between university of guelph 1955 and 1990 during the Soviet occupation, as well as Vilnius University since 1955. At best, we know that, like Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kaliningrad, or Karl-Marx-Stadt, the name of the city derives from a communist hierarch.
Born April 7, 1880 in a family of wealthy farmers in the region Vilkaviškis, Vincas Mickevičius, after graduating from high school Marijampolė between the seminar Seinai (now Sejny Poland) in 1897. But he was expelled after a year for his activism university of guelph against the Tsarist regime. Involved in the national awakening (Lietuvių tautinis Atgimimas), he participated in the drafting, editing and dissemination of weekly Varpas and Ūkininkas printed in East Prussia. It was at this time he takes the pen name Kapsukas.
Turning increasingly toward socialism, and therefore opposing the independence of Lithuania, in 1904 he founded the Social Democratic Party of Workers, which quickly became the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania. But he failed university of guelph to do join the Bolshevik movement in Russia. During the Revolution of 1905, he organized strikes Sulvakija, which earned him to part of 1907, being imprisoned and exiled several times. In 1913, he fled the Russian Empire and the opportunity to meet Lenin.
In 1918, Kapsukas is sent to Lithuania to install and run a transient Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania (December university of guelph 16, 1918 - February 27, 1919 Lietuvos Respublika university of guelph Tarybų Socialistinė), which cleaves to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus to form the Socialist Republic Soviet Lithuanian-Belarusian or LITBEL, which will itself be liquidated by Lenin July 17, 1919.
After this failure, Vincas Mickevičius-Kapsukas leave for Moscow, where he will continue to lead the Lithuanian communists. He worked for the Comintern or Third International. He died mysteriously in Moscow February 17, 1935, during a visit to Stalin and his family will be persecuted by the result.
