Prior To Military Service
Pavel Dybenko was born in Lyudkovo village, Novozybkov uyezd, Chernigov guberniya, Imperial Russia (now in Bryansk Oblast, Russia) in an ethnic Russian peasant family. From 1907 onward, Dybenko became active in a Bolshevik group. (The so-called "Bolshevik group" was actually a local underground activist group acquiring information from other democratic minded groups in the town of Minsk. Dybenko, doing so at the behest of the local underground activists, distributed progressive literature throughout the Novozbykov region - progressive publications such as the People’s Gazette and the Proletariat which spoke to anti-Tsar sympathies.) He started working in the Treasury, but was fired as "untrustable". He moved to Riga and worked as a port labourer. He tried to avoid enlisting, but was arrested and forcibly enlisted.

“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
