Anatoly Lieven

Anatoly Lieven

Prince Anatoly Pavlovich Lieven, in Russian Святлейший Князь Анатолий Павлович Ливен (1872-1937) was a Baltic German prince of the Lieven family who commanded a white anticommunist army during the Russian Civil War in Latvia known after him as the Liventsi ( _lv. Līvenieši).

Lieven developed tensions with the adventurist general Pavel Bermondt-Avalov when the former refused to collaborate with the German puppet government of Andrievs Niedra and forbade his men to fight the Latvian and Estonian forces in Livonia.

After the civil war Lieven became a Latvian citizen and a manufacturer of bricks. He was active in the anticommunist movement and led a detachment of the Brotherhood of Russian Truth.
