FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO VISITED KHABAROVSK
IN DIFFERENT TIMES
Vladimir Klavdievich Arsenyev was a Russian explorer of the Far East who
recounted his travels in a series of books, telling of his military journeys to the
Ussuri basin with Dersu Uzala, a native hunter, from 1902 to 1907. He was the
first to describe numerous species of Siberian flora.
Arsenyev was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. After a military education,
Arsenyev began his expeditions to the forest of the Far East. He lived in
Vladivostok through the years of the Russian Civil War and even was a Commissar
on Ethnic Minorities of the independent Far Eastern Republic. After the Far
Eastern Republic was absorbed by Soviet Russia in 1922 Arsenyev refused the
proposals to emigrate and stayed in Vladivostok.
Arsenyev died at the age of 57 in 1930. He is the most famous for authoring
many books about his explorations, including some sixty works on the geography,
wildlife and ethnography of the regions he traveled. Arsenyev’s most famous book,
Dersu Uzala (Dersu the Hunter), is the author’s memoirs of three expeditions in the
Ussurian taiga along the Sea of Japan and North to Vladivostok. The book is
named for Arsenyev’s guide, an Ussurian native of the Nanai/Goldi tribe. The
book attracted the attention of the Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosava, who
released the film version, Dersu Uzala, in 1975. The third book of the trilogy In the
Sikhote Alin Mountains was published posthumously, only in 1937.
Arsenyev was the director of Khabarovsk Local Lore Museum from 1910 till
1918. Arsenyev’s family home in Vladivostok has been made into a museum.
Arsenyev, a town located in Promorsky krai, was named after him.
Nikolay Nikolayevich Muravyov-Amursky was a Russian statesman and
diplomat, who played a major role in expansion of the Russian Empire to the
Pacific Ocean. He was the first Governor General of Eastern Siberia and the Far
East. Count Muravyov-Amursky is the founder of the city of Khabarovsk.
In 1891, a bronze statue of Muravyov-Amursky was erected on one of the
Amur River’s cliffs near Khabarovsk. In 1929, it was taken off and replaced with a
statue of Lenin, which stood there until 1989. The Muravyov-Amursky memorial
was restored in 1993.
N. Muravyov-Amursky resigned in 1892 and moved to Paris where he
died 1881.
In 1992, the remains of Muravyov-Amursky were brought from Paris to be
buried in the central park of Vladivostok, which stands on the Muravyov-Amursky
Peninsula, named after this statesman.
The monument to Muravyov Amursky is depicted on the 5000 ruble banknote
issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on July 31, 2006.
Nicholas II was the last Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke
of Finland. His official title was Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the
Russias and he is currently regarded as Saint Nicholas the Passion Bearer by the
Russian Orthodox Church.
Nicholas II’s rule was at end with the Russian Revolution of 1917 in which he
and his family were imprisoned first in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, then
later in the Governor's Mansion in Tobolsk, and finally at the Ipatiev House in
Yekaterinburg. Nicholas II, his wife, his son, his four daughters, the family's
medical doctor, his personal servant, the Empress‘ chambermaid and the family's
cook were all murdered in the same room by the Bolsheviks on the night of 17 July
1918. It is now well documented that this event had been orchestrated from
Moscow by Lenin and the Bolshevik leader Yakov Sverdlov. This has led to the
late Nicholas II, his wife the Empress and their children to be canonized as Martyrs
by various groups tied to the Russian Orthodox Church within Russia and,
prominently, by the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia.
In 1891 Crown Prince Nicholas II arrived in Vladivostok from Japan to take
part in the “first rail” ceremony of the Ussuri Railway. Same year Nicholas II was
in Khabarovsk where he unveiled the monument to the first Governor General of
Eastern Siberia and the Far East Count N. Muravyov Amursky.
