Investigação realizada por Eugene Snezhkin nos arquivos de Sebastopol, Janeiro de 2013

 

Primeiro dia da Investigação

I came to Sevastopol today in the morning and went to State archive. Spent for about an hour while got permission to enter and get access to the documents. It's not easy to find something in the archive
because they have mostly civilian files but not Navy. However I've ordered some documents with a weak hope to find mention about Anatoly Rizenkampf. I also found a book which COULD consist something about him, but the book is in Navy library in center of Sevastopol. I'm going to go there tomorrow but again will have to waste some time for the permission. Both and State archive and Navy library have restricted access but I still have my ID card from the time when I worked as a Director and it helps. :-)

I'm going to be tomorrow in Navy museum too.

I found an article in Internet where Anatily's widow writes about his murdering. The article was written by Krestiannikov who was Director of the archive. He doesn't work any more but a lady in the archive said he comes some time. She also said Krestiannikov has his own archive. I left a note for him and asked contact me by e-mail or phone. Will see.

This is all my news for today.

 

Segundo dia da Investigação

I went to Navy museum yesterday in the morning. The only useful thing I could find there was a book named "List of crews of Black sea navy".
It was printed in St.Peterburg (Petrograd at the time) in 1915.

Anatoly Risenkampf is listed by No 115. Whole paragraph including abbreviations only. Thanks to a lady in the museum - she explained
each abbreviation to me.

The paragraph says: Sevastopol's naval half-crew. Chief mine warehouse (mines "Whitehead") and sighting station of Sevastopol's port (Dec.8, 1907) Enrolled in the coastal part (of the Navy E.S.) (Nov.12, 1911). M1 means he graduated from mine classroom. Пр - Orthodox, Ж - married, 3Д - three children. Employed since 1885, warrant officer since 1888. Captain of 1st Rank since Apr.14, 1913. Field officer of battleship "Sinop" 1903-1905. Marine gunboat "Chernomorets", study-ship "Dnestr". Then the medals he got are listed.
The last line says about languages: he knew French and English.

The ladies in the museum were very kind and helpful - I bought them a box of chocolate after I finished my research there. :-)

From the museum I went to Navy library, founded in 19 century by admiral Nakhimov - chief-commander of Russian army at the time of
Crimean war in 1854-56. My main goal was to read two books: full version of the article "Saint Bartolomeo nights" and book of Eugene
Chverkin - he described most of the buildings in center of Sevastopol with the names of owners. It was my weak hope to find Anatoly in the list of owners.

I found full version of the petition of Anatoly's widow in the red book named "Saint Bartolomeo nights". She wrote Anatoly was murdered
together with her son-in-law George Markov and nephew Anatoly Alexandrovich Risenkampf.
I've looked at 7 books of Chvertkov but unfortunately there was no name Risenkampf. :-(

I spent about three hours in the library and was ready to leave when a man, who was reading a book at the same room, asked me what I'm looking for. We talked for about half an hour and he said Anatoly could live not in center of Sevastopol but close to the mine warehouse which was quite away from downtown. This man said if he find something about Anatoly he calls me.

Unfortunately there is no any mention about Anatoly's children. :-(

It's what I could find so far.

I'm going to Sevastopol again on next week - I've ordered another in the archive list of navy officers, original document. It will be ready
for me on Monday.

 

Terceiro dia de investigação

I drove to Sevastopol and went straight to the archive yesterday in the morning. "The lovely lady" was waiting for me with a document I did order a week ago. It was quite interesting document but.....didn't have any mention about Risenkampf. Looking at the old, yellow pages I noticed a sign: "...address-calendar of Sevastopol city government". I didn't know what it means: address-calendar and asked
the lady about. She said it was like an address book of the city and it was issued every year - it's why "calendar". Unfortunately, she said, we only have a copy of the address-calendar from 1916 and original is in Simferopol (!) state archive, Main Crimean archive. I asked if I can take a look at this address-calendar. The lady said it's in the private collection of Krestiannikov (look at my e-mail
"First days of investigations") but he has read my letter I left for him, she said, and he is here now and I have to ask him personally. Of course I did and got his permission. :-) In next 15 minutes I could read: Von Risenkampf Anatoly Chesmenskaya street 34 (!!!!!!!!!) I couldn't believe I found Anatoly's address!!!!! I asked the lady about document where old and new names of the streets are listed and... SHE BROUGHT ME THAT BOOK!! So, Chesmenskaya street is now called Sovetskaya, located in historical center, on the city hill. Great! Now.... what's now.... I had to consider the numbers of the buildings could be changed too because Sevastopol was totally destroyed by WW2 so... so I was need an old map of center of the city. I saw such map in the book by Eugene Chvertkin  (look at my e-mai "Second day of investigations") "Something about Sevastopol". I went to the library, ordered the book and in a few minutes I was   looking at the Anatoly's house on the map. Well, it was not his own house - there is description by Chvertkin but there is no Anatoly's name. Look at the map - No 34 is named "Kubler" - he was a trademan, owner of the building. It's possible Anatoly was renting an apartment in this building.

I believe Anatoly was an ethnic German, right? It's interesting - his record says he was orthodox (look at the record I sent you before). Please notice: there is German church right across the building No34 on Chesmenskaya street.....

It was dark when I left the library and I couldn't take a picture of the building. I guess it was rebuilt after WW2 because there are two floors now but Chvertkin writes about three floors... I'll tr to find it out. I also send you picture soon: I know someone in Sevastopol and already asked him take the picture for you.

The lady in the archive and Krestianinov, both said there is nothing else to expect left in Sevastopol because main Marine archive is in Gatchina - town not far from St.Petersburg, Russia. I found it in Internet but.... the web site says they only have documents since 1941.... :-

 

Mais dados

Look at two pics I've attached - this is a building where Girl school (Девичья школа) was at the time of Anatoly Risenkampf. This building is on Sobornaya 27 very close to the house where Anatoly lived. He definitely saw it...

Forgot to tell you: the building of Girls school did survive in WW2. It was damaged and repaired after the war but it's still the same, original building.

See!... In 1929 people were not allowed to write much... I mean many  details. These letters could only let to relatives know: we're still alive. :-(

 

Livro de endereços dos moradores de Sebastopol em 1916

Tradução do Livro dos Moradores  de Sebastopol em 1916

Chesmenskaya 34


House of merchant Andrey Ivanovich Kubler. The big three story house, not less of eight apartments. If you remember, on Nakhimovsky 43 he had a house back to 1890 where were his shop
and storage of construction materials. To get into the storage was possible  from Sinop's descent only, steep and rocky  so the cabmen who were delivering heavy stuff to the storage
always scoffed at horses. This issue by initiative of animal lovers was even discussed by city government but nothing had changed.
In Winter 1903 in Kublers house on Chesmenskaya was located Office of brigade headquarters of Crimean border, in 1908 - headquarters of 13th Infantry Division and management division
quartermaster.
In 1910 year lived main bookkeeper of port Office State Councillor E.G.Maslovsky and commander of destroyer "Lieutenant Zatsarenny" captain of the second rank V.V.Veselovsky. In 1904-1906 yy in same rank he was first officer on "Kubanets" and "Sinop", in 1907-1908 yy commanded by destroyer "Zhivoy".
In Winter 1917 y lives one more representative of Navy - commander of battleship "Free Russia" captain of the first rank Foos.
Already in soviet time (1924) in this building has been located Police office, crime detection office and club of Political Prisoners. But L.I.Fooki tells also about Cheka.
********************************************
Please notice name of V.V.Veselovsky. He was  first officer on "Kubanets" and "Sinop" in 1904-1906 but Anatoly Risenkampf was a field officer on the same ship "Sinop" in 1903-1905 yy sooooo.... they knew each other for sure. And they lived (rented an apartment) at the same house on Chesmenskaya 34. Maybe they were friends? Maybe one of them
invited another to the house? Could be interesting to find out in what year Anatoly moved to Chesmenskaya 34.

I found books online that you mentioned on the web page.
http://dlib.rsl.ru/viewer/01003785176#?page=238   1913 year #1 - captain II grade
http://dlib.rsl.ru/viewer/01003785173#?page=114   1911 year #35 captain II grade
This info you have already on the page: 

 

 
I also found Navy list of 1904 year - screenshot attached
Most of the info is the same -senior officer of battleship "Sinop" starting 17.11.1903
2 children yet.
On the right medal and orders: Silver medal in memory of Alexander III (1896), Saint Stanislaus order 3 grade (6.12.1897), Saint Anna order 3 grade (6.12.1901)
New info is on the left bottom - in foreign journey on corvette "Razboynik (Robber)" 892-896, 
and below - last journey 1903.

 

 
In St-Petersburg adress book 1892 year.
von-Riesenkampf Anatolij Eogorovich , Bolshoi pr.  V.O. h. 19 (358)
Riesenkampf Varvara Pawlona, Bolshoi pr.  V.O. h. 21 (422) // it's his mother
V.O. - Vassilievskij island  (I aslo living on this island, so not far from my home -15 min by feet)
Numbers in brackets - columns where they mentioned in 1st part of the book - state institutions -> looking there...
358 - 18th Navy crew, Galernaya harbor, Deryabina village: warrant officer A.A. Riesenkampf
422 - St-Petersburg Elisabeth School, V.O. 13-line h.14; Teacher: V.P. Riesenkampf

 
Bolshoi pr. - Bolsholi avenue 19 and 21 these houses situated just near the church - St. Andreas cathedral. So probably elder daughters were baptised there...

 
In 1895 the book is not so detailed but it's menitoning both:
Riesenkampf Anatolij Eogorovich , 18th Navy crew - as we know now he was sailing overseas...
Riesenkampf Varvara Pavlona, V.O. 9-line h. 20, Elisabeth School (Institute)

 
in 1901 Anatolij is not mentioned.
Varvara Pavlovna mentioned as widow of "titulyarnyi sovetnik" (beamter) and living in Dolgorukovskiy str. 2
interesting that she living with daughter of general-"infanterii" Maria Egorovna - here she is
death year I think not right - will chek - I expect in 1874 she worked in Smolny institute.
Marie and Anatolij were second cousins.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birth place in German documents maybe not right...
In Russian passport birthplace is not mentioned - just written 18 years old.

 
Address book 1866-7. In the left column Riesenkampf Egor Egorovich TtC - "titulayrnyai sovetnik" Birgevaya sq. h.1-2 ap.55. in government service. 
It's address of Antolij father he was Stabsrittmeister in army (1849, X grade) and according this he was in civil service with IX grade.

 
And there was "widow house" in Dolgorukovckiy street - I think for noble old single women. It was near Smolny institute for girls

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1898 Anatolij Egorovic lived in Kronstadt  (St.Petersburg address book 1898)
leutenant, Narvskaya str. h. Trofimova, 8th Navy crew - now the street named Martynova.
One of these houses....

I did not give any injunctions for the station destroying to Risenkampf, and I condemn his actions.

    No more information about this, but we may be sure that this fact was provoked by military actions which took place there that time. German armadillo “Geben” and light cruiser “Breslaw” bombed Black-Sea coast under Turkish flags. There is a document which confirms this:

This measure was verbally asked by the Mine Department when the Turks started military actions by the raid on Feodosia, Odessa and Novorossiysk on October 16 past year.
