Pavlos Argyriadis

Pavlos Argyriadis (birth name: Panagiotis Argyriadis, August 14, 1849, Kastoria - November 19, 1901, Paris) was a Greek lawyer, journalist and anarchist and socialist intellectual that was active in France during the late 19th century. He was born in Kastoria in 1849, probably in a wealthy family. He completed his high school studies in Istanbul and then studied law in Paris, where he became a lawyer after becoming a French citizen. Argyriadis was one of the few Greek internationalists of that time who had a notable connection or participation in important revolutionary events in Europe including the Paris Commune in 1871. In Paris he defended accused workers and journalists. Among others, he had political relations with Platon Drakoulis and Stavros Kallergis. In 1889 he was a member of the Central Committee of the Socialist Revolutionary Party of France. His works include the following brochures: Concentration capitaliste, trusts et accaparements.
