Abba Ahimeir (Hebrew: אב"א אחימאיר, Russian: Аба Шойл Гайсинович; 2 November 1897 – 6 June 1962) was a Russian-born Jewish journalist, historian, and political activist. One of the ideologues of Revisionist Zionism, he was the founder of the Revisionist Maximalist faction of the Zionist Revisionist Movement (ZRM) and of the clandestine Brit HaBirionim. While often marginalised in the past, Ahimeir’s historical importance and ideological influence are gradually being given the recognition that they deserve. Colin Shindler contends that the title of 'Father of the Revolt' should be shared equally between Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Ahimeir. [1][2]
