Vassili Grigorjev
Vassili Grigorjev (11 March 1870 in Dymkovo, Pechorsky District, Russian Empire – ?) was a Russian-Estonian farmer and politician.
He was born in Dymkovo in Perchorsky District, into a poor peasant family. He received a secondary education. After military service, he worked for the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for 22 years. In 1918, he moved to Estonia, where he became a farmer.[1] He later became a pediatrician and journalist.
Grigorjev was a member of the Riigikogu for the Estonian Labour Party from 1920 to 1929.[2][3]
In 1927, Grigorjev and a number of other people from Petseri County were arrested on charges of treason due to them planning a possible separatist movement in Petseri County and Narva in response to Petseri County being given to Estonia as a result of the Treaty of Tartu, as well as working with Soviet intelligence as a member of the Riigikogu. He was sentenced to death in absentia.[4]
After the Baltic Operation, where Nazi Germany invaded the Baltic States, Grigorjev was captured by their forces. His fate is unknown.[1]
