Timeline

1911

John Gollan (2 April 1911 – 5 September 1977) was a British political leader who was general secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) from 1956 to 1975.

Gollan was born in Edinburgh, where he grew up and took his first job as a painter's apprentice.

1926

His first introduction to political activity was during the 1926 general strike when he helped distribute the papers of the strike committee.

On International Workers' Day, 1 May, the following year, he joined the CPGB and its youth wing the Young Communist League (YCL).

1931

He became a signwriter, but his career was cut short in July 1931 when he was arrested for distributing anti-militarist leaflets.

He had been organising soldiers to demand better rights and conditions, an activity for which he was sentenced to 6 months in HM Prison Edinburgh.

1932

After a popular campaign calling for his release, he was freed in January 1932 and began working for the party.

Gollan became the editor of the YCL's newspaper The Young Worker and its successor publication Challenge.

1935

He did this for several years, until his election as General Secretary of the YCL in 1935.

1945

He then held various regional posts, before becoming the party's national organiser in 1945.

1949

In 1949, he became assistant editor of the Daily Worker, and in 1954 he became the party's Assistant General Secretary.

1956

In 1956, he became the party's General Secretary and immediately had to deal with the drop in membership following the Soviet crushing of the Hungarian Revolution.

1975

He held the post until 9 March 1975, when he resigned after being diagnosed with lung cancer, and died in 1977.

He was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.
