Vladislav (Władysław) Franzevich Krajewski (1841-1901) was one of the personal physicians to Russian Czar Nicholas II, and a trainer of George Hackenschmidt (according to Hackenschmidt's autobiography, The Way to Live ). Referred to as "Vladislav von Krajewski" in Hackenschmidt's autobiography, he was born in Poland, but lived in St. Petersburg, where he kept a large, private gymnasium in which he trained many of Russia's weight lifting champions, and where he was known as a strength training expert.
