Pauls Dauge (b. August 22, 1869, Sauka parish, d. February 9, 1946, Riga) was a Latvian dentist, Bolshevik revolutionary actvist and writer.

Dauge formed part of the New Current group of Latvian intellectuals (along with Pēteris Stučka) that advocated Marxist thought. He graduated from theMoscow Dental School in 1897, and went on to study at a dental college in Berlin. In 1904 he met with Vladimir Lenin, abroad. He worked in Moscow for a few years. During the period 1905–1907 he was active in a literary lecturing team of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (of which he had become a member in 1903). His underground party name was 'Pik'. Dauge translated various works of Friedrich Engels into Latvian language. He also worked with the Bolshevik newspapers Borba and Svetoch. He was a delegate to the second and third congresses of the Social Democracy in the Latvian Territory.

He took part in the October Revolution in Moscow. In 1918 he was named Chief of the Dental Section of the People's Commissariat of Public Health of theRussian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, a position he would hold until 1928. In 1923 he founded the journal Одонтология и стоматология ('Odontology and Dentistry'). In 1928 the Moscow State Scientific and Practical Dentistry Institute was founded, upon the proposal of Dauge. He began research work in Riga and Moscow, and lectured at the Moscow Institute. Dauge became a member of the International Dental Academy based inWashington, DC in 1929, and was named Honorary Member of Vienna Dental Society in 1931.

He was a delegate at the 8th and 15th congresses of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

        17.12.1918 | Krievijas hibrīdkari. Ar Krievijas lielinieku "brālīgu atbalstu" proklamēta "Latvijas savienotā komūna"

        Latvijas Sociālistiskā Padomju Republika (LSPR, dibināta kā "Latvijas savienotā komūna") bija sociālistiska valsts tagadējās Latvijas teritorijā, kura tika proklamēta Krievijā un izveidota pēc tam, kad Latvijas Republikas teritoriju okupēja Krievijas Sarkanās armijas spēki. Tas, ka Krievijas Sarkanarmijā dienēja arī daudz no impērijas laika palikušo, bieži marksistu apmuļķotu etnisko latviešu, nemaina notikuma būtību: "sarkanie strēlnieki" cīnījās pret Latvijas neatkarību, lai to atgrieztu Krievijas (lielinieku) impērijas sastāvā. LSPR 1918.—1920. g. pastāvēja līdztekus Latvijas Republikai ar Padomju Krievijas politisku, ekonomisku un militāru atbalstu. Latvijas Republikai izdevās atbrīvot savu teritoriju no Krievijas okupantiem ar citu valstu (Igaunijas, Polijas, Lielbritānijas; kopā 11 valstu) militāro palīdzību gada laikā 1920. gada sākumā.
