Paweł Trubecki

Prince Paweł Trubecki ("Paweł Troubetzkoy"; 1879 Congress Poland – 1941 Tallinn, Estonia) was a partisan of Stanisław Bułak-Bałachowicz, a member of The Special Unit of Belarusian People's Republic in Estonia ("Asobny Atrad BNR w Estonii" [http://www.bie.ee/historyja/asobnyatrad/halereja_1.htm] ), veteran of Estonian War of Independence, a son of a landowner and revolutionary, Prince Nester Trubecki. In the 1880s, the official language of Congress Poland was changed to Russian] whereas Polish was banned both from office and education, and the process of liquidating the Polish autonomy was completed. By 1905 Józef Piłsudski's party, the Polish Socialist Party, of which Paweł Trubecki was a member, was the largest socialist party in the entire Russian Empire. Failing in his purpose, Trubecki left Congress Poland in 1906, and moved to Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia). In 1906, as a stable government was re-established in the province, a Neo-Romantic literary movement "Young Estonia" ("Noor-Eesti") took hold there. Paweł Trubecki got the Nansen passport.

The son of Nester Trubecki, a revolutionary anarchist, Trubecki married Maria Makeiewna Dobrzinska (1 August 1887, Orsza – 22 March 1974, Tallinn) in 1903. They had three sons (Iwan Mihkel Trubecki, 1906 in Orsza – 1971 in Tallinn; Aleksander Trubecki, 1913 in Tallinn – 1941; and Włodzimierz Wałoc Trubecki) and one daughter (Anjuta Gorbachev, 1908 in Tallinn - 2004 in Tallinn). Trubecki had three brothers (Herasim Trubecki, a scientist; an oil magnate in Baku whose name is not known; and a captain of the icebreaker Yermak, whose name is not known) and two sisters, whose names are not known.
