'''Nikolay Ilyich Belyaev''' ({{lang-ru|Никола́й Ильи́ч Беля́ев}}; 19 January(1 February) 1903 – 28 October 1966) was a Soviet politician. Between 1955 and 1958 he was a [[Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Secretary]] of the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union]].<ref name=b1/>

==Biography==
Belyaev was born in the village Kuterem of [[Ufa Governorate]] in Siberia in a family of a Russian peasant. While studying in a secondary school he began his political career as a [[komsomol]] activist. In 1925 he graduated from the [[Plekhanov Russian Economic University]] in Moscow and returned to Siberia where he served as a Communist Party functionary for the next 30 years. His efforts in the expansion of agriculture in Siberia were noticed by [[Nikita Khrushchev]]. As a result, in 1955 Belyaev became one of the secretaries of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. During the 1957 attempt by [[Georgy Malenkov|Malenkov]], [[Vyacheslav Molotov|Molotov]] and [[Lazar Kaganovich|Kaganovich]] to demote Khrushchev, Belyaev defended the party leader, for which he was elected to the [[Presidium of the Supreme Soviet]] and became the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the [[Communist Party of Kazakhstan]]. His was dismissed from both positions in 1960 due to the decline in agriculture and, more importantly, due to the poor handling of the 1959 riots in [[Temirtau]] that resulted in more than 10 people shot dead and several dozens prosecuted. He was sent to [[Stavropol Krai]] where he worked with [[Mikhail Gorbachev]]. According to Gorbachev, after the demotion Belyaev lost all enthusiasm; he retired from active duties in 1960 and died in 1966. He was buried at the [[Novodevichy Cemetery]] in Moscow.<ref name=b1/>
