from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arkadij Wladimirowitsch Tyrkow ( Russian Аркадий Владимирович Тырков , scientific transliteration Arkadij Vladimirovič Tyrkov ; born February 11, 1859 in Saint Petersburg ; † February 18, 1924 in Bor (Russia) ) was a Russian nobleman and member of the People's Volja Association ).

Tyrkov entered the Narodnaja Volja as a student at the St. Petersburg University and participated in the preparation of the assassination attempt on Alexander II on March 1st July. / March 13, 1881 greg. . He was arrested but escaped trial because of mental illness. After recovering, he was exiled to Siberia for an indefinite period in 1884 . Tyrkow returned to the European part of Russia after 1905, from then on worked as a scientist and man of letters and wrote his memoirs.

Tyrkov's estates were also expropriated during the October Revolution . In mid-1920, however, Lenin personally ordered the apparently needy Tyrkov and his family to have some arable land and cattle from his former property available - because of his revolutionary services in the assassination of the Tsar.

The family tree of the Tyrkow family can be traced back to the end of the 16th century. The family was noble, owned many serfs and land. Apparently the Tyrkows had their headquarters in Wergescha, a place between Saint Petersburg and Novgorod on the Volkhov River . There is also the family grave on which a tombstone was placed in 1981 in memory of Arkady Vladimirovich Tyrkow.
