Lajos Magyar (1891 - 1938) was a Hungarian Communist politician, active in the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, after which fall he was imprisoned by the Horthy regime. Magyar later came to the Soviet Union as the result of an exchange of prisoners; there he worked on the staff of the Comintern, and was sent on mission to China for an extended period. In 1934, Magyar was falsely accused of being involved in the Kirov assassination; he was arrested and sentenced to prison convicted as a "Zinovievite-Terrorist". A couple of years later he was executed.
