Simon Arshaki Ter-Petrosian (Russian: Симон Аршакович Тер-Петросян, romanized: Simon Arshakovich Ter-Petrosyan; Armenian: Սիմոն «Կամօ» Տէր Պետրոսեան; 27 May 1882 – 14 July 1922), better known by his nom de guerre of Kamo (Russian: Камо), was an Old Bolshevik revolutionary and an early companion to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. From 1903 to 1912, Kamo, a master of disguise, carried out a number of militant operations on behalf of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party, mostly in Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire. He is best known for his central role in the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery, organised by Bolshevik leaders to raise funds for their party activities. For his militant activities he was arrested in Berlin in 1907 but feigned insanity both in German and later Russian prisons, eventually escaping from prison and fleeing the country.
