Nikolai Mefodiev

Nikolai Vladimirovich Mefodiev (Николай Владимирович Мефодиев; 1869, Tunguda, Arkhangelsk Governorate — after 1927) was a medical doctor, village teacher and deputy of the Third Imperial Duma from the Arkhangelsk Governorate between 1907 and 1912. After the end of the deputy term, he continued publishing a newspaper — a business that he had started back in 1909. After the February Revolution he sent a greeting to the Duma; after the October Revolution he returned to medical practice. In 1918, he joined the anti-Bolshevik administration of the Northern Oblast (chaired by Nikolai Tchaikovsky). March 24, 1920 Mefodiev was arrested by the bolshevik government and sentenced to two years of penal labour. In June 1927, he was arrested again and exiled to Siberia, where all his tracks were lost.
