Second most commie-living chess player?

We all know that Botvinnik gets top prize for adoration of the Soviet state. And we also all know about all those players who labored mightily (and tossed games) under its heel, like Korchnoi, Bronstein, and Keres. 

But here's the question...who is the SECOND biggest lover of the Politburo, in the high-flying world of chess? Place your votes here, hopefully with a supporting anecdote!
