Arkadij Vladimirovič Tyrkov, born February 11, 1859 in Saint Petersburg, died February 18, 1924 in Bor, Russia, was a Russian nobleman and a member of the conspiratorial association Narodnaja Volya (popular desire).
Tyrkow entered the Narodnaja Volya as a student of the University of St. Petersburg and participated in the preparation for the assassination of Alexander II on 1 March / 13 March 1881. He was arrested but escaped a process of mental illness. After a convalescence, he was exiled to Siberia for an indefinite period. Tyrkow returned to the European part of Russia after 1905, from then on he worked as a scientist and a writer and wrote his memoirs.
In the October revolution, Tyrkov's estate was also expropriated. But in the middle of 1920, Lenin personally ordered the apparently distressed Tyrkov and his family to provide some arable land and cattle from his former property, due to his revolutionary merits in the assassination of the tsar.
The family tree Tyrkow can be traced back to the end of the 16th century. The family was aristocratic, had many bodies and grounds. Obviously, the Tyrkows had their tribe seat in Wergescha, a place between Saint Petersburg and Novgorod on the river Volkhov. There is also the family grave on which a tombstone in memory of Arkadi Vladimirovich Tyrkov was erected in 1981. Weblinks Edit sourcetext
