Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich[edit]

Apparently, there's confusion if this is the same person as the subject of this article. Or are there 2 distinct people? Are they related? --Ludvikus 14:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC) Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich was not General Alexander I. Spiridovitch they were completely different people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.111.192.250 (talk) 11:53, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are different people - have included the cross-reference for clarity.

Summing up various information from The Times, the Foreign Office card index at The National Archives (most of the corresponding files having been destroyed) and The New York Times:

Alexander Spriodovitch, Colonel in 1904, in which year Edward VII of the UK, visiting Russia appointed him an honourary commander (among others). He was Chief of the Police attached to the Russian Imperial Court and then, as Lt-Colonel, and also chief of the gemdarmerie at Tsarkoe Selo, being a member of the Okhrana. The investigation into the assassination of Pyotr Stolypin listed him as one of the prsons who were to be investigated further. (The New York Times 22 October 1911 and The Times, 4 March 1912 p 5) There is also an article in The Times of 10 July 1971, p 5 'Was Stalin a spy?', involving a letter which was possibly forged indicating this - and Spirdovitch knew, and identified the signature of, the person allegedly 'running' Stalin. He may also be the person cited on a 1907 FO index card who used indiscreet language at the unveiling of a monument to the Tsar Liberator. Jackiespeel (talk) 15:18, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
