| Summary: | The article is devoted to D. O. Tiesenhausen, a descendant of an old Russian
noble family. Describes the main stages of the career and life of the baron as
vice-governor of the Orenburg and Vyatka provinces and Yakutsk region. His
ideological positions regarding the February Revolution of 1917 and political exile
to Yakutia are presented. On the basis of new sources analyzed one of the most
dramatic periods of the biography of the Baron, associated with his emigration to
Mongolia, stay in Urga and relations with General Ungern.
A separate episode in the life of the former Vice-Governor was his arrest,
transportation to Siberia and imprisonment in a detention center. This arrest nearly
resulted in the death penalty by decision of the Irkutsk provincial police. The Baron
spent the rest of his life under the systematic control of the Stalinist secret services,
and his personal tragedy was a typical expression of the fate of most «socially
alien» people in Soviet Russia. |
