A Western tank has a four-man crew. A Russian/Soviet tank has a three-man crew.
The crewman not found in a RU tank is the Loader. He manages the tank's ammunition supply and loads the main gun during firing operations. Russian tanks have autoloaders. The Loader is the lowest-ranking man in the vehicle; he is cross-trained on the rest of the vehicle so he'll be able to move up when one of the other crewmen gets promoted out of the tank or gets out of the army.
The crewmen common to both services:
The Driver drives the tank and is responsible for maintaining the vehicle's automotive systems - engine, tracks and so on.
The Gunner fires the main gun and its coaxial machine gun, and maintains the weapon systems onboard.
The Commander leads the crew, finds targets to shoot at, and fires the .50-caliber machinegun. Many tank commanders are "dual hatted" - they have more than one job. A tank platoon leader will also be a tank commander, as will an armor company commander, an armor battalion commander, a heavy brigade commander who's branched Armor, and an armored division commander.

Did the Tank Man Tiananmen Square get run over by a tank?
They did not run him over. After stepping in front of the tank, jumping on top and talking to the crew, he jumped off and blocked them again. At this point, two people in blue clothes took him into the crowd. Some people say this was the Chinese secret police and that he was executed. Others say he is still alive. No one knows for sure as there is no body, live or dead.
