- Ploutis Servas, was a Cypriot former politician, reporter, and author. Servas was born Ploutarhos Loizou Savvidis (Πλούταρχος Λοΐζου Σαββίδης) and changed his surname to Servas while still a student in secondary education. Servas was born in Limassol, Cyprus in 1907. He studied social sciences in Moscow. He returned back to Cyprus in the 1930s and had to sign a declaration saying he would not be involved in politics in order to be allowed to set foot in the country. He became the general secretary of the illegal Communist party of Cyprus and founder and first general secretary of AKEL (1941-1945). He was also the first elected Mayor of Limassol 1943-1946 and 1946-1949. As a mayor he participated in the consultative assembly and advocated accepting the British plan of self government for Cyprus in 1948. For that opinion he became isolated within his party and was expelled in 1952. He supported Ioannis Clerides in the 1960 elections, but wasn't an active politician again himself. He worked mainly as a reporter and a writer. He wrote books such as: Spain on Fire (1936), The Labour Issue (1936), AKEL and Local Issues (1942), Portraits of Palmer's Era (1946), Corea (1949), Prague Spring (1973), How Did We Manage to Get to Zero; The Cypriot Tragedy (1975), Old and New China (1977), Responsibilities (first volume 1980, second volume 1984, third volume 1985). His death on the 14 February 2001 caused controversy in Cyprus as in his will he had asked to be cremated. There were no crematoria in Cyprus and there was a heated debate between those supporting the availability of cremation as an alternative and those who disapproved of it.
- Ploutis Servas (Πλουτής Σέρβας) byl kyperský politik a novinář. Servas se narodil jako Ploutarhos Loizou Savvidis (Πλούταρχος Λοΐζου Σαββίδης), příjmení na Servas si nechal změnit jako student na střední škole. Servas se narodil v Limassolu, na Kypru v roce 1907. Vystudoval sociální vědy v Moskvě. Na Kypr se vrátil ve třicátých letech 20. století, přičemž, aby mohl vkročit do země, byl nucen podepsat prohlášení, že nebude působit v politice. Servas se však stal generálním tajemníkem nelegální Komunistické strany Kypru a zakladatelem a prvním generálním tajemníkem strany AKEL. Také se stal prvním zvoleným starostou v Limassol. Jako starosta byl členem poradního shromáždění a hájil britský plán vlastní kyperské vlády. Kvůli tomuto názoru byl ve straně izolován a nakonec v roce 1952 vyloučen. Ačkoli už nebyl aktivním politikem, podporoval volbu Ioannise Clerides ve volbách v roce 1960. Pracoval převážně jako spisovatel a novinář. Napsal knihy: Spain on Fire, The Labour Issue, AKEL and Local Issues, Portraits of Palmer's Era, Corea, Prague Spring, How Did We Manage to Get to Zero; The Cypriot Tragedy, Old and New China, Responsibilities. Jeho smrt 14. února 2001 způsobila na Kypru kontroverzní reakce, protože ve své závěti žádal o kremaci. Na Kypru však nejsou žádná krematoria a došlo k vášnivé debatě mezi těmi, kteří podporovali možnost kremace jako alternativy a těmi (hlavně ortodoxními křesťany) kteří to odmítali.
