Farabundo Domingo Gaitán y Molina (Slavic: Фарабундо Доминго Гайтан-и-Молина; transliteration: Farabundo Domingo Gaytan-i-Molina; 11 March 1953 – 29 January 2023) was an exiled Creeperian politician and activist who served as the general-secretary of the far-left Anti-Romerist Revolutionary Front (FRAR) from 1993 until his death in 2023.

Gaitán Molina's parents, who were both sympathetic to the cause of Creeperian partisans during the 1950s, fled Creeperopolis following the Massacre of the Seven Thousand in April 1957 and settled in Ajakanistan. He became a writer for the Los'Tres Puntos Rojos newspaper in 1966 and became a member of the Revolutionary League of Creeperian Miguelists (LIREMIC) upon the outbreak of the Second Ajaki Civil War. He became the newspaper's chief editor and a member of the Congress of Comrades of Norilsk in 1981.

In 1982, Gaitán Molina was appointed as the Anti-Romerist Front's (FAR) news minister, and in 1990, as its first secretary. He became the general-secretary of FAR and the president of Norilsk in 1993. Following the 2003 Creeperian coup d'état, Gaitán Molina renamed the Anti-Romerist Front to the Anti-Romerist Revolutionary Front in 2004.

He was killed on 29 January 2023 in Kholodnograd during a Creeperian–Pavulturilori military operation during the OU military intervention in Ajakanistan. He was succeeded as the party's leader and as the president of Norilsk by Rafael Sánchez Molina; Norilsk was abolished and FRAR was banned by the Ajaki government on 15 March 2023 after the communist government was overthrown.

Early life

Farabundo Domingo Gaitán y Molina was born on 11 March 1953 in Salasate, Abdan, Creeperopolis. His parents were José Maximiliano Gaitán y Herrera and Blanca Catalina Molina y Ramírez de Gaitán. He had one older brother named José. His parents were former combatants during the Creeperian Civil War (1933–1949), fighting in support of the far-left National Council for Peace and Order, commonly known as the Miguelists. Both supported the then-ongoing partisan resistance against the Creeperian government.

On 5 April 1957, the Creeperian Army killed over 7,000 people in Salasate in what became known as the Massacre of the Seven Thousand, ending the partisan resistance. Both of Gaitán Molina's parents survived the massacre but his brother was killed. Following the massacre, Gaitán Molina and his parents fled the country, traveling on foot to Sequoyah and then boarding a ship to Ajakanistan where they sought refuge among the many other refugees who settled in the country during and following the civil war. His family settled in Kisekin where he was raised throughout most of his youth. He obtained Ajaki citizenship in 1958.

Early career

Prior to escaping to Ajakanistan, Gaitán Molina's parents were members of the National Democratic Organization (ORDEN), which itself was a part of the Revolutionary League of Creeperian Miguelists (LIREMIC), a political party which claimed to be the direct successor of the Creeperian Social Communist Party (PCSC). After the defeat of the partisans in Creeperopolis, the organization changed its name to the Revolutionary Miguelist Front for Anti-Romerist Action and National Restoration (FRE–MAAREN).

Gaitán Molina became a member of FRE–MAAREN in 1966 at the age of 13 and started working for the party's newspaper, Los'Tres Puntos Rojos. FRE–MAAREN later changed its name to the Anti-Romerist Front (FAR) in 1967. He became a member as the Second Ajaki Civil War began between the communist Ajaki government and the nationalist Ajaki government ruled by the All-Ajaki Fascist Party. He fled from Kisekin in 1969 as the nationalists captured the area and settled in Vladimirgrad until 1976 when the communists recaptured Kisekin. Throughout the civil war, Gaitán Molina wrote anti-nationalist articles for Los'Tres Puntos Rojos, as well as publishing pro-communist propaganda.

In 1981, Gaitán Molina became the chief editor of the newspaper and became a member of the Congress of Comrades, the legislature of Ajakanistan's claimed 16th federal subject of Norilsk in the Creeperian -controlled San Carlos Islands. Shortly after assuming his position on the Congress of Comrades, Gaitán Molina was sentenced to death in absentia by the Creeperian government on charges of treason and sedition. In 1982, he was appointed as the news minister of the Anti-Romerist Front by its general secretary, José Gómez Carpio. In 1990, Gómez Carpio appointed Gaitán Molina as the party's first secretary, the second highest position in the party.

Leader of FRAR

On 19 March 1993, Gómez Carpio announced his retirement as leader of FAR and announced that Gaitán Molina would be his successor. In addition to assuming the position as general-secretary, he also became the president of Norilsk, as the position was also held by Gómez Carpio. Gaitán Molina reinforced his commitment to "liberating" Creeperopolis from its Romerist government and that a Miguelist revolution would begin in Creeperopolis. That same year, FAR became a member of the International Communist League.

From 1993 to 1995, FAR increased its support for the Kapahu Alana Revolutionary Movement (MRKA), a far-left separatist group fighting for the independence of Esclaveta during the San Carlos Islands Crisis. FAR stopped supporting the group after it dissolved following a peace agreement in 1995, but he continued to spread anti-Romerist propaganda in the San Carlos Islands. After the 2003 Creeperian coup d'état, the MRKA was reestablished and FAR resumed its support for the group.

In January 2004, Gaitán Molina renamed FAR to the Anti-Romerist Revolutionary Front (FRAR).

Death

On 29 January 2023, Gaitán Molina was killed during a Creeperian–Pavulturilori military operation against FRAR's headquarters in Kholodnograd. According to the Creeperian government, his last words were "the monarchy will fall, Miguelism will prevail, and the people will be freed" (Creeperian: "la'monarquía caerá, el Miguelismo prevalecera, yel pueblo será liberado"), upon which he was shot by two agents of the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA). His body was returned to the San Carlos Islands where it was burned and buried at sea.

He was succeeded as the general-secretary of FRAR by Rafael Sánchez Molina. The Ajaki communist government was eventually overthrown on 12 March 2023, and three days later, on 15 March 2023, the Ajaki government banned FRAR and declared it a terrorist organization following a summit with the Creeperian government in the San Carlos Islands. FRAR continues to exist as an underground movement.

Personal life

Gaitán Molina married Ivakina Vasilievna Botkin in 1980, and following Creeperian tradition, she legally changed her name to Ivakina Vasilievna Botkin de Gaitán. The couple had two children: Miguel Stepankov Gaitán y Botkin (born 1983) and Mariano Khramov Gaitán y Botkin (born 1988). Both of their children became members of FRAR in the 2000s. Mariano was killed in a car accident in Zheleboksarsk in 2011 while Miguel died to an untreated lung infection in Kholodnograd in 2017. Gaitán Molina did not have any grandchildren.
