Born in Yakutia in 1887 to a family of exiled revolutionaries, Podbelsky joined the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1905. During the 1905 uprising he was involved in anti-government demonstrations and meetings. Fearing arrest, Podbelsky fled to France in 1906.
After the October Revolution, he served as the head of the Moscow City Committee.[1]
Vadim Podbelsky died on February 25, 1920, in Moscow and was buried in Mass Grave No. 4 of the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Former station Ulitsa Podbelskogo on the Moscow Metro was named in his honour.[2]
