Fabio Grobart, a founder of Cuba's Communist Party, has died, state news organizations reported. He was 89 years old.
The report from the state news agency A.I.N. did not say when he died or the cause of death, but it said he was buried on Saturday.
Mr. Grobart, who emigrated from Poland to Cuba when he was 19, was a founding member of the Cuban Communist Party in 1925. At one time he owned a tailor shop in Havana.
In the years after the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power, Mr. Grobart served on the party's Central Committee and as a member of Parliament. In his later years he was considered the party's historian.
In the 1960's he was listed as a director of the influential magazine Cuba Socialista and was considered a top planner in guiding Cuba's revolution ideologically.
