Rachkovski and those who loved him

[lynn cates]

Hello All. This thread concerns friends and agents of Pyotr Rachkovski. It also includes the logical extension of that list--apologists for the Russian Tsar. It is hoped that much of this thread will replace and/or enhance some of the later portions of the Kaufmann thread.

I begin with a very incomplete list of friends and agents of Rachkovski, along with the apologists for the Tsar. It includes, inter alia, the following;

1. Cyprien Jagolkovski
2. Juliana Glinka
3. Jules Hansen
4. Wladyslaw Milevsky
5. Boleslaw Malankiewicz
6. Abraham Hekkelman
7. W T Stead
8. Olga Novikov

In the days ahead I hope to include my personal research on some of these people as well as an expansion of the list. I am currently trying to obtain Malankiewicz’s police file from the Krakow archive and am about to possess Hansen’s book concerning the Paris embassy.

Any contributions to this research would be deeply appreciated.

Cheers.

Cyprien Jagolkovski

Hello All. The attachment is a "New York Times" article about Jagolkovski. It includes a brief bio and physical description.

comfy chair

Hello All. The cutting from "The Fort Wayne News" September 3, 1894 concerns Jagolkovski under his alias, Baron Sternberg. Notice he is taken to St Petersburg in Russia, no doubt for questioning.

Oh dear, I hope they were not too hard on him. At least perhaps they did not employ the comfy chair (arrgghhh!)

Cheers.

the trial

Hello All. Something there is that doesn't love an agent provocateur. Here is a cutting describing the trial of the anarchists provoked by Jagolkovski.

("The Lock Haven Express" February 11, 1895.)

Cheers.

1888 London

Hello All. By way of further explanation, Jagolkovski, according to Butterworth, is the chap responsible for alerting Rachkovski to the proliferation of Russian and Jewish anarchist emigres congregating in the East End of London. It is thought that this is what precipitated Rachkovski's visit to London in the summer of 1888, to see what could be done to rectify the situation.

Cheers.

resume

Hello All. One might wish to add to Jagolkovski's resume the fact that he helped Milevsky and others destroy the Narodnya Volya's printing press and stored literature.

The clever devils even showed enough presence of mind to plant evidence implicating a rival political gang.

Cheers.

Glinka

Hello All. Here is a link to Iuliana Glinka's bio.

middle man

Hello All. Butterworth hints that Glinka was a go between for Rachkovski and Padlewski.

Padlewski, you may recall, was the London based Pole who was implicated in the murder of General Seliverstov, whom was alleged to be a Rachkovski "hit."

Cheers.

[mariab]

I recall all this from your telling me, Lynn.
I assume that Iuliana Glinka was not related to the composer, and that it's a fairly common Russian name?
(From Reykjavik, and I have your Rocker along, and it's safe from volcano ashes...)

bio and memoirs

Hello All. Seems Rachkovski has a bio. Go here:

http://www.pseudology.org/Bogatyri_syska/rachkovsky_pi.html

Being written all in Cyrillic script, this is painstaking reading. Nevertheless, it indicates that Rachkovski had begun his memoirs just before he died. They were never finished and the preliminary sketches went to his friends on the police force. They have since gone missing.

Lynn,
haven't yet managed to read your recent posts in this thread, but I just did another 6 boxes of anarchists at the Paris Archives Nationales today. 4 last boxes remain, 3 of which already ordered for tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately, the anarchists on file under supervision by the French secret police are for the most part NO intellectuals/orators, but mainly German and Italian “terrorists“ involved in building and trafficking bombs around Europe, travelling via Switzerland. So NO file on Krantz/Rombro, who was in Russia anyway from 1906-1908, before he left for N.Y.. The time frame for the anarchists' files having survived is 1896-1906.
Located a Schwartz twice, but both of them were French/Swiss “terrorists“, not orators, and NO connection to London. It's not “our“ Schwartz, the one I've been locating elsewhere in French police reports. However, I'm still stuck among the “S“s and “T“s, so there might be some hope for tomorrow. Also looking forward to the letter “W“ for Winchevsky and Wess. Still, like I said, these people on file are most definitely NOT orators/chief anarchists.
Will email you later tonight, I'm going out for a bit first.

inventory

Hello Maria. Thanks for your hard work. Good luck on what's left.

Regarding my inventory: I may get the photo of Burtseff. As you recall, he was the Anarchists' answer to the Okhrana intelligence.

I wonder if reel 159 #23 in my inventory refers to Kosminski? (heh-heh)

Cheers.

Lynn,
I'll look it up all in a couple days, I'm about to die here. Wish I could go to sleep, but need to write to the Sorbonne people AND go through a couple chapters from my manuscript – polishing it a bit. A real drag, and I'm beat...
