Abram Moiseyevich Deborin (Ioffe) (Russian: Абра́м Моисе́евич Дебо́рин (Ио́ффе); 16 June [O.S. 4 June] 1881, Upyna, Raseiniai uezd, Kovno Governorate – 8 March 1963, Moscow) was a Soviet Marxist philosopher and academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union (1929). Deborin oscillated between The Bolshevik and Menshevik factions of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, before settling with the Bolsheviks and enjoying a long career as a philosopher in the Soviet Union. Although this career suffered under Stalin, he lived to see his works republished when the Soviet Union was led by Nikita Khrushchev.
