Above named Wladymir i.e. Vladimir Bonch - Bruevich / В. Д. Бонч-Бруевич was publisher and one of Lenin's closet associates. Curiosity! Lenin signed certificate for V.

The second brother, older - general Michail (III) Boncz Brujewicz / Bonch - Bruevich either Bonch - Bruyevich Mikhail Dmitriyevich or Michal Bonc - Bruevic, see - if you read Russian - here: http://history.tuad.nsk.ru/index.html (b. 1870 - died 1956; son of Dmitry who stayed in Moscow) who was tsarist general. Mikhail Dmitriyevich Bonch - Bruyevich from 1892 to 1895 served as an officer with the Lithuanian Guards Regiment at Warsaw.

Mikhail Dmitriyevich Bonch - Bruyevich was the military director of the Supreme Military Council and chief of general field staff of the Red Army (field staff of the Revolutionary Military Council) in 1918 - 1919.
Curiously enough:
new military intelligence under different names operated from October 21, 1918. At this time the Red Army was already a huge and powerful body but after October, 1917, Bolsheviks faced with many difficulties, including the collapse of the army. Therefore, reorganizing the old army, they left in the War Department that is the People's Commissariat for Military Affairs - General Directorate of the General Staff (GUGSH) and this body consisted the 2nd Division of the General Quartermaster in December 1917, which was the central organ of intelligence and counterintelligence services of the armed forces of Russia. So by the end of 1918, Soviet military intelligence in full was as the legal successor of the pre-revolutionary military intelligence. GUGSH headed General V. V. Marushevsky (Polish?) who refused to cooperate with the new government.
Then Quartermaster-General Nikolai Mikhailovich Potapov was new chief of the military intelligence (in 1915-1917, Potapov was the Main Director of the General Staff at the office of General Quartermaster. However, according to some reports, he - from July 1917 - collaborated with the military organization of the Petersburg bolshevik Committee. In November, 1917 to May 1918, Potapov served as Chief of Staff, and acting as assistant manager of the Military Department; in June 1918, he became a member of the Supreme Military Council, and from July 1919 Chairman of the Military Legislative Council).
Colonel Yudin was the bolshevik Commissar and Peter F. Ryabikov, after the coup, was had remained in the office because the Bolsheviks did not touch the military intelligence, as opposed to counter-military intelligence, which they immediately dispersed, as it was involved in the campaign of charges the Bolsheviks was spying for Germany in the summer of 1917. Crisis of foreign intelligence commenced with the end of December 1917: colonel Andrey Stanislavsky (Polish?) entered the service for the French intelligence, and intelligence reports from the allies - the French military mission in Moscow - came to the end in July 1918. In February 1918, the country faced with bloody civil war, and in March 1918 the Soviet government established the Supreme Military Council for the organization of the armed forces of Red Army with a military leader, former tsarist general M. D. Bonch-Bruevich and two political commissars Shutko and P. Proshyan. On March 17, 1918, the Supreme Military Council included: a military leader, his assistant, Quartermaster-General with several assistants, and intelligence chiefs, a field inspector of artillery, and others; on March 19, 1918: Chairman - People's Commissar for Military Affairs Leon Trotsky, the Council members and above named General N. Potapov. In June, 1918 the Supreme Military Council was reorganized and included: a military leader Bonch - Bruevich, chief of staff and staff occupied by former officers, the deputy of the military leader appointed a former Major General of General Staff Alexander Alexandrovich Samoylo, an assistant Chief of Operations of the Supreme Military Council was Colonel Alexander Kovalevsky (Polish? April - May 1918). Kovalevsky, soon will move to the South, where he headed the mobilization management of the North Caucasus Military District; here he with General Nosovich (Polish?) were arrested by Stalin, but after Nosovich was fleeing to the 'white', Kovalevsky was again arrested and shoted.
Mikhail Dmitriyevich Bonch - Bruyevich was the specialist in take a pictures from airplanes and organized the first technical office of aerial photograph in 1925; he wrote "The aerial photograph" in 1931 and similar book in 1934 (and Grigorij - his son Mikolaj (2nd) b. 1896 was general of the Soviet air force);

| 1892 | At the beginning Louis Franzevich Dyuflon founded technical office in the 2nd half of the 19th century in Moscow. L. Duflon / Dyuflon acted in the St. Petersburg branch of the 'Breguet' Company. Engineer Dyuflon, a Swiss 'Breguet' Company representative (he was very young, only aged 23), was Stefan Drzewiecki friend (the Polish family from the Volhynia government), and circa 1884 was searching of the structure of a dromoskop. Dyuflon sometimes was invited to have breakfast with Drzewiecki. Drzewiecki occupied luxury apartment in the house No 6 at Admiralty Seaside. In the evenings, the usual Drzewiecki guests were brothers Paul and Peter Solomonovich Martynov, engineer Breguet (Louis Antoine Breguet that is Antoine Breguet b. 1851 - died 1882, was engineer and his son Louis Charles Breguet b. 1880, d. 1955, was aircraft manufacturer and was a French aircraft designer and builder, one of the early aviation pioneers who - in 1905, with his brother Jacques Breguet - began work on a gyroplane, the forerunner of the helicopter, with flexible wings - like Igor Sikorsky and prof. Bothezat; Jacques Bréguet that is probably Mr Breguet who was the engineer of 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz', company representative, Swiss citizen and friend of Stefan Drzewiecki; Louis and Jacques Breguet, of the famous clock- and watch-making family, were interested in aviation from an early age and on 19 September 1907, they, in cooperation with Professor Charles Richet, created the first helicopter), Dyuflon, botanist professor Poirot, K. E. Makovsky, and the pretender to the Serbian throne, prince Karageorgievich, who formerly served in the French Foreign Legion. In 1892, Swiss citizen, L. F. Dyuflon / Duflon built in St. Petersburg plant for the production of electrical equipment and opened in St. Petersburg 'Electrical studio'. In the same year 1892 he concluded a cooperation agreement with Moscow businessman A. Konstantinovich / Apollon (Apollo) Konstantynowicz / Константинович son of Wasyl / Wasilij Константинович, the owner of the technical office. Together they take on more complex projects, and soon the company was the first military orders. Since 1896 the enterprise was owned by trading house, after by co-operatives and in 1901 it was transformed into a corporation. |

| 1895 |
The third company in Russia in terms of the electronic products supply. Created 8 June 1901 by converting the firm 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' (Дюфлон, Константинович и Ко., ДЕКА) based in 1892. Founded in 1893 as a factory of electrical installations by 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz / Константинович'. Lots of houses No 7 and 8 at Pavlov Street (Lopukhinsky road or lane Lopukhinsky in 1887 has got a common name, Lopukhinsky Street)
in St Petersburg in 1895
bought L. F.
Dyuflon / Duflon / Louis Edward Anton Dyuflon and his
companions Y. K. Dizeren / Yu
Dizeren and (inf. about first names, father's name of Apollo(n) Константинович and middle names need to be check, on Yu = Y. K., L. F. = Louis Edward, A. = A. V. / A. W.) A. V. (A. W.)
Konstantynowicz / A. Konstantynowicz for the electrical company
(since 1922 the Petrograd State Machine-Building Plant
'Electric'; in 1923, the factory designed the first Soviet welding
generator).
The site houses No 9 and 12 Pavlov Street got the Prince of Oldenburg. The
house No 14 in 1909 - 1910: factory building for 'The Russian Society of the wireless
telegraph and telephone', in 1923 created Central Radio
Laboratory - here was located the center of the main domestic radio
industry (L.
Mandelstam, N. Papaleksi, D. Rozhanskii, V. P. Vologdin). A note dated September 21, 1895 from the Ministry guarantees that the plant 'will be to have a free hand for quick ... execution of its most difficult and painstaking work...'. Domestic firm 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' (Константинович) which was a representative of the French 'Sautter and Harle', under a contract of December 4, been making 11 sets of electric winches for battleship's elevators and to additional elevator for 'Rurik', winches ordered directly to firm 'Sautter and Harle' (the 'Rurik'-I keel was laid in the Baltic Works in St. Petersburg, May 19, 1890). Fuller was an order given in March 1905 to the company 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co.' immediately by 24 portable electric fans of 300 m / hr. 'Navarin' / Наварин, based on the British Trafalgar-class battleship, was built in St. Petersburg, 1889 to 1896; in September 1893, as planned 'Duflon and Konstantynowicz' factory was appointed date of move of 'Navarino' to Kronstadt for completion of equipment and accessories. To build a 'Громобой' / 'Stormbreaker' ship in the new dock of the Baltic plant started on June 14, 1897, and on December 7 of that year this new cruiser called 'Gromoboi' was enrolled in the fleet; guns delivered from the Obukhov plant, and a winches from 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz company'.

| 1896 | In December 1896 at Lopukhinsky Street in St Petersburg, now - Academic Pavlov Street
No 8, opened
the first-born in St. Petersburg electrotechnical
industry, the electromechanical
plant facilities owned joint-stock company 'Dyuflon,
Konstantynowicz and Co.' (Дюфлон, Константинович и Ко., ДЕКА), a large
role in which played the French capital.
The 'Duflon, Konstantynowicz and Co.' office was situated at Aptekarski
Ostrov in St Petersburg,
now Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical
University is also located on the island. The Lopukhinsky road or lane Lopukhinsky in 1887 has got a common name, Lopukhinsky Street, also found writing Lapuhinskaya; lots of houses No 7 and 8 in 1895 bought the L. F. Dyuflon and his companions Y. K. Dizeren and A. Konstantynowicz / Константинович for the electrical company. Alexander Stepanovich Popov,
pioneer in the invention of the radio was associated with the island; on March 24, 1896, he demonstrated transmission of
radio waves between different buildings in St Petersburg and
he demonstrated ship-to-shore communication over a distance of 6 miles
in 1898. From the report of the Vologda city council member, F. N. Ovechkin, we know about question on the electric lighting in the city of
Vologda in 1896 when the owners of the electromechanical plant of 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz', addressed to the Chief of the province a proposal to build in the city of Vologda electric lighting. Nelly Bogorad in a newspaper 'The St. Petersburg Rush Hour' in 2002 was writing 'The Case Dyuflon will live': "In December last year the plant, 'Electric', the sources of which were enterprising Frenchman and a Pole, created in 1896 by joint-stock company 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz', has got 105 years old. But the big date, ... at the company was not mentioned. ... It was the culmination of a period of confrontation of the two shareholder groups, each pursuing its own interests. ... Both groups of shareholders began buying shares in the factory ... in the course of privatization got a 60 % stake. ... Member of the Board of Directors of JSC 'Plant Electric' Andrey Stepanenko, representing a major shareholder, ... explained why he and his colleagues have undertaken to preserve the enterprise. ... As noted by Mr. Stepanenko, ... is not more than four years to modernize and reconstruct capital assets, depreciation is not less than 70 - 80 % ... and Mr. Stepanenko and his comrades are waiting for the expansion of welding equipment in the U.S., Germany, Sweden and Finland".

| 1897 | Founders: Swiss citizen of French origin, Louis Edward Anton Dyuflon, his friend Swiss Yu Dizeren and Moscow engineer A. V. Konstantynowicz / Константинович. In December 1895 they bought land in Lopukhinsky Park in St. Petersburg to build its own plant with name 'Duflon, Konstantynowicz, Dizeren and Co'. In 1901 it was transformed into a corporation. The new plant, received the name 'Plant of the
electromechanical Structures', was opened 14 December 1896.
At the beginning of 1897 the company was renamed in partnership, and in 1901 the plant has been transformed into joint-stock company 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz & Co.' (DECA), with a capital of 750 thousand rubles. |

| 1901 |
The third company in Russia in terms of the electronic products supply. Created 8 June 1901 by converting the firm 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' based in 1892. Founded in 1893 as a factory of electrical installations by 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz'. The new plant, received the name 'Plant of the

At the beginning of 1897 the company was renamed in partnership, and in 1901 the plant has been transformed into joint-stock company 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz & Co.' (DECA), with a capital of 750 thousand rubles. DEKA
founded in 1901 on 08 June, as the transformation of the company Duflon
and Konstantinovich / Константинович, which was founded in 1892 by Luis Edouard son of Frances Duflon / Louis Eduard Anton Duflon son of Francis Dyuflon or Lun Eduard Anton Duflon, born 1861, a Swiss citizen and Polish engineer - technologist A. W. Konstantinovich, the Russian citizen. In December 1895 they bought the land in Lopuchinski Park in St. Petersburg. This factory was opened December 14, 1896. At the beginning of 1897 the factory turned into the Association and soon the 'Deca' began to receive government contracts, in particular for electrical equipment for naval artillery. Louis E. Dyuflon was graduated of Zurich Polytechnic and starting as an engineer at the factory of electrical products, he soon became the official representative of the French electrical company in Russia, where he met with the engineer Apollo Konstantinovich / Константинович - a representative of the same company in Moscow. In 1901, the 'Deca' plant becomes a joint stock company DEKA.
Capital 750 thousand rubles. In 1913 radio - agreement with French
company SFR and it becomes a branch ot the SFR in Russia. In the second half of 1901 Veklemishev was
in Paris for equipment to
Russian submarines with co-operation with Duflon
and Konstantynowicz Company. Main engine -
petrol four-cylinder engine of the Otto-Deyts 160 hp, enough fuel
reserves to 30 hours. The motion of the water provided the electric
motor of 70 hp and battery power capacity of 1900 Ah and were made in Philadelphia, USA.
Equipment ordered factory 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' from St.
Petersburg. The
submarine torpedo boat No 113 was built during the winter 1901 and summer
1902. However, the assembly of the battery to plant
'Dyuflon' delayed until late autumn, did not meet the
contractual terms (accumulators and batteries were manufactured in 'Deka' plant after 1908); 1903 - it was finished making the submarine
motor. Also tests of the
Valentin Vologdin radio oscillator at the battleship 'Andrew' was
successful; Marine Office was made an order for another twenty radio
stations, which include a new power supply antennas. Order execution
was entrusted to the plant by 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co.' for
twenty ships. All of them are installed on warships of the Navy, have
shown high efficiency. |

| 1904 - 1907 | The beginning of a Duflon Company in Switzerland and France in 1904 (L. F. Dyuflon from 1908 resided in Switzerland). Within a few months in Russia and in 1901 / 1907 the beginning of the DEKA Joint Stock Society (Duflon, Konstantynowicz & Company JSC). In this years a business started to operate in Aleksandrovsk / Zaporoze when DEKA JSC bought land in order to changeover of activity (see December 1915) in 1907 at address: Zaporozje, Motorostroitelej 15. On 15 November 1907 the City Council of Alexandrovsk allocated land for the construction of the brothers Moznaim / Moznaimov iron foundry and machine factory but this factory was bought by joint-stock company 'Deca' from Moznaimov in 1915 and reconstructed for the production of aircraft engines; today, the 'Motor Sich', one of the most famous in the global avia industry (the Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz Company manufactured Salmson engines, Gnome, Ron - a production under license and by 1917 the production of the engines in all Russia reached 700 per month; about 250 were collected from the western parts; the Decka Company began to produce engines in 1913). Until December 1915 it made agricultural machinery and tools to perform different machining, cast iron and copper. The "Credit Lyonnais" Bank in Geneva has got records, assessments and accounts for the Swiss country with reference number DEEF 30136 relating to "Duflon, Konstantynowicz & Company", that is "Company of the Electromechanical Factories of Constructions" called DEKA of 1904 - 1916; researched in 1921. The DEKA Company produced agricultural machineries and tools, various machines, a cast iron; the factory in 1907 - 1911 (iron foundry) cast copper pieces and iron equipment. Ukraine organized a Celebration Committee in 2007 on the occasion of the one hundred anniversary of the "Motor Sich" Company / DEKA Joint-Stock Company. The

His grandfather Baxter, probably English (mother side), acc. to http://www.leon-bakst.com/ - Collection Constantinowitz. Leon Bakst always lived with his family in St. Petersburg. Leon Bakst had two sisters, Sophia and Rose, and brother Isaiah. Nephew of Leon Bakst that is son of his sister Rose Samuilovna Rosenberg (Zakhar L. Manfred worked as a lawyer in St. Petersburg, during the Civil War was a teacher in the Saratov province, then in the Pskov province; Rosa Samuilovna Rosenberg - a translator, sister of the artist Leon Bakst, died in 1918) and Zachary Manfred, was historian Albert Z. Manfred (1906-1976) who born in St Petersburg (acc. to Eugene Konstantynowicz / Константинович - son of Apollon Konstantynowicz, Polish, and Anna Konstantynowicz / Константинович nee Armand, Polish roots - and his children living in Switzerland and Paris, France, that is grandchildren of Anna nee Armand, and great-grandchildren of Varvara Karlovna Demonsi / Demonets; this Eugene Konstantynowicz, as a patient, was treated in Switzerland, there he became acquainted with Marusya, who cared for her uncle Leon Bakst, along with Sophia, Bertha, Paul and Emily). See: the Constantinowitz Museum in Meudon. Meudon is a municipality in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, in the département of Hauts-de-Seine. Chalais-Meudon was important in the pioneering of aviation, initially balloons and airships, but also the early powered craft (in 1880 Charles Renard and Arthur Krebs). Klyachko, Maria Markovna (1895–1994), married name – Constantinowitz, daughter of Léon Bakst’s sister, Sophia Klyachko.

Anna Asknazi vel Askenazy was friend of Inessa Armand in Moscow of 1909 and also doctor N. N. Pechkin, Boris Armand, Anna Evgen'evna Konstantynowicz / Konstantinovich / Константинович who helped out financially, Natalia Emil'evna, the twin Brilling brothers-in-law, Alexander Armand. At the age of eighteen she married Alexander Armand, the son of Evgenii Armand, a successful textile manufacturer in Pushkino near by Moscow. At the age of 19 she knew only two languages until as adult she learned German and Polish. At least of 10 December 1908 Inessa Armand wanted to attend the First All-Russian Women's Congress in St Petersburg with her sister-in-law, Anna Evgen'evna Konstantinovich / Konstantynowicz / Константинович. Inessa was lover of Lenin since 1909 or 1910, but according to 'Correspondence of Lenin and ... organizations. 1903-1905 years', Volume 3, the first book, we know that Lenin sent a cliche of 'Iskry' / 'Sparks' at Dyuflon address in Yekaterinburg (p. 332, here also name of Konstantynowicz!) in 1903. "Inessa Armand. Revolutionary and Feminist" by R. C. Elwood, p.74 - Inessa was on her honeymoon with Lenin who showed up in Copenhagen without his wife Krupskaia. Inessa spent the time with her sister-in-law Anna Konstantinovich / Константинович, whom she apparently visited in Leipzig during the month of August 1910. Inessa and Anna would finish the summer by attending the Conference of Socialist Women in Copenhagen. Inessa very likely was accompanied by her sister-in-law Anna Konstantinovich, rather than by Lenin during the days of the 1910 congress. On Sunday 28 August 1910 after the Women's Conference had closed, Inessa and perhaps Anna Konstantinovich attended the opening ceremonies of the Eighth Congress of the Second International using two guest tickets obtained for Armand by Lenin in Copenhagen, according to P. P. Bulanov, Moscov 1925, 75. Dr. Edward Reilly from Australia when was visiting Marijampole, Lithuania, in Oct. 2003, had seen the grave of Lenin's (??) son, Guards Captain Andrej Armand, who fell in Oct. 1944 as the front
pushed towards Prussia. When
Lenin was writing to Inessa Armand to Moscow by 16 February 1920, asked
her about any products which were sent to Konstantynowicz (according to 'Lenin in his life. ...'
by Е. Н. Guslarov; address of Inessa: Nieglinnaja street,
house 9, flat No 6; s. 226).

Armand noble family
Paul
Armand was
born probably in
1770, acc. to unpublished memoirs of
David L. Armand. Paul Armand with
wife Angelica daughter of Charles (1765 in Alsatia - 1813 in
Moscow) and with 14-year-old
son, Jean (Jean
/ Ivan / Jean-Louis
Armand born 1786 or
1798 - died 1855 in Moscow) went to
Moscow in 1812,
when Napoleon was in Moscow but this family has
appeared in Russia at the end of the
XVIII century, an escape from the terror
of the French Revolution. When
Napoleon had to withdraw, Paul had no choice to withdraw
together with the French army (author
Svetlana Alexandrovna Krylatov, a descendant of the family
Kurtener, during a meeting of the descendants of the merchant
families
in the former Merchants Club in Malaya Dmitrovka in 1990). Evgeny
second / Eugene-Louis Armand was
b. 1809 and
died 1890, was a
son of Jean Armand / Ivan and his first
wife Elizabeth Osipovna (born 1788,
died 1817) called Sabina,
and the second wife was Marie Barbe, born Kolinon (1780 - 1872)
who had a daughter Sophia, later married a Swede, Osip Hecke
/ Hekke. Sabine father has name Evgen the
'first'.
Sophia was the daughter of Ivan from his second marriage and was born c. 1830, she was granddaughter of Paul that is Pavel. She married a Swede - Joseph Hekke (Hauke?) about 1850. No data about this Swede. From this marriage was the oldest Maria Osipovna that is daughter of Osip / Joseph. She was born about 1851. The second child was 12 years later, and was born about 1863 - Sophia Osipovna. And about 1864 Alexandr son. When their parents died c. 1866, a guardian was appointed - uncle Evgeny 'second'. He put children in his office in the Old Square and Evgeny hired a governess for the children about 1867. In the second half of the 19th century lived with the Armand family a governess, girls Inessa and Rene Stefan, both were married to two brothers Armand, Alexander and Nicholas. Inessa Fedorovna in 1903, leaving her husband, lived with his brother Volodya and after escaping from exile in 1909, Inessa Fedorovna went to Switzerland, where she was waiting for Vladimir / Volodya. Alexander went to Belgium, graduated on engineer to manage a factory of his father. After collectivization in 1930 he appealed to Alechinsky farm and lived until 1943. Maria Osipovna was a musician and student of Nicholas Rubinstein (Nikolai Grigoryevich Rubinstein b. 1835 and was a Russian pianist, the younger brother of Anton Rubinstein; with Nikolai Pietrovich Trubetskoy / Prince Nikolai Petrovitch Troubetzkoy born 1828 died 1900, was the founder of the Moscow Conservatory). Sophia, daughter of Joseph was graduated from high school. Amateurishly painted. She was in love with the youngest of the cousins - Emil, third son of Eugene / Evgeny and soon married about 1883. The Catholic Church blessed the couple. Alexandr son of Joseph, wanted to become a monk, but he went to the army, and eventually became a police officer. Evgeny Armand Ivanovich / Evgeny second / Eugene-Louis Armand was b. 1809 and died 1890, was a son of Jean Armand / Ivan and his first wife Elizabeth; was married to a Polish woman, Catholic - Mary Frantsevna Pashkovskaya / Maria Paszkowski (Пашковские) daughter of Franciszek. She was born 1819 died 1901 and was highly educated, c. 1840 studied painting in France; she was a woman of strong and humble disposition. Maria had a tender heart. In contrast to the position of her husband, his wife was educated, and drew quite well, in France she drew the ruins of castles and really liked them; Evgeny built in a park such ruins. Need to be check - she was next
of kin of general Franciszek
Maksymilian Paszkowski with the Zadora coat
of arms who was born 12 October 1778 in
Brody - d. 11 March 1856 in Cracow, friend of general
Tadeusz Kosciuszko.
It's amazing that the
October Revolution in 1917, which swept the Russian Empire, allowing
the reconstruction of Poland, broke out just on the anniversary of the
death of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, exactly the 100th anniversary of his
death, and around Lenin appeared figures of the Polish nobility, which
adopted a sense of the Kosciuszko Polish patriotism. "Instead,
after the fall of Napoleon's empire in 1815 he met with Russia's Tsar
Alexander I in Braunau. In return for his prospective services,
Kościuszko demanded social reforms and territorial gains for Poland,
which he wished to reach as far as the Dvina and Dnieper Rivers in the
east". On October 15, 1817 Tadeusz Kosciuszko / Thaddeus
Kosciusko died. But a underground
movement led by Jozef Pilsudski had in that case great deals to take in
hands, behind the scenes, all revolutionary Lenin movement of the
Bolsheviks, between about 1909 - 1917, and even longer to
1920, when Inessa Armand perhaps was poisoned, and even to the year
1921, when it was still marked a influences of Bruevich brothers of
noble Boncza arms. Inessa Armand controlled all Bolshevik work as a
secretary of Lenin and she has influence on the directions of
philosophical - political considerations, which diverged from reality,
and their possible introduction in the life would be - if not as an
experiment - even doom for the Russian Empire. The purpose of Jozef
Pilsudski was not only gathering information about enemy - Russia, and
not only the smuggling of weapons for his organization, but primarily
for Pilsudski was the goal to Lenin seized power and overthrew the
Tsarist authorities. This was to allow the recovery of independence by
Poland. Stalin was here the enemy, because he wanted to rebuild the
Russian empire, just as the Soviet Russia - a communist state. Lenin
wanted a European communism, the total fiction and the absurd.
Pilsudski had to put Lenin at the head of the new Russia, and at least
Pilsudski conducive to this Lenin's communist movement did not
collapsed. Wrangel, Denikin, Kolchak were number one enemies.

Armand joined a Social Democratic propaganda group in Moscow and was
arrested but his sister Anna Evgen'evna helped finance party
organizations. They lived in Pushkino, according to JoAnn
Ruckman, 'Moscow Business Elite...', edit. 1984, p. 61 and by Egor
Nazarenko - a great grandson of one of Evgenii Armand's brothers. They
owned house in Moscow, but in summer lived in Finland.
The Eugene family intermarried with the families: Demonsi-Shnaubert-Mathiesen-Bunkin-Tsitsin, Konstantynowicz / Константинович and Manfred, Kohl-Osipov, Papmel-Mazing, Vdovin, Stepanov, Stephen, Wild, Karasev, Fedosov, Egorov, Zhurin, Pichnikovyh-Shaposhnikov-Zilina, Cardo-Sysoev, Fallen, Shapiro, Romas and others. Adolf and his wife, Alexandra, nee Lengold had three children: Andrew (1875 - 1884), Helen (1876 - 1958) and Margaret (1881 - 1882). They intermarried with the families of Repman, Gauthier, Doble, and others. Emil E. was married to Sophia nee Osipovna Hecke (Hekke).

As a young man, Evgeny Armand was a clerk - official at a German factory in Vanteevke near by Bolshevo about 1845, in 1853 Evgeny bought dyeing factory in Pushkino, Moscow Province, from the French owner, Favard; in 1859, Evgeny build a second factory next to the first; c. 1865 Evgeny built a house and made it his residence. In addition there were houses in Moscow, four-story office in the Old Square, at the corner Varvarka, an apartment house in the German market, the trading house on Vozdvizhenka street near the Arbat Square. They were co-owners of the Firm 'E. Armand and his sons', and two textile factories in the Moscow suburb, owned houses in Moscow and estates in the suburbs, were members of the charitable community organizations. A brothers Brilling, Nicholas R. and Eugene R., big engineers of engines, operating in the Soviet era and even after World War II, Nikolai Romanovich was a famous theorist, honored worker of science, the brothers were married to two sisters Armand. There were another of the next of kin, Dr. Kohl and K. Fedosov and Konstantynowicz. The middle brother, Adolph E. was, in contrast to his elder brother. Three brothers lived lavishly, but these great bourgeois clan Armand began to decline but the 'Evgenii Armand and Sons' Company by 1912 had two thousand employees. However, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, all Armand continued to live in Pushkino and Nicholas Vladislavovich Ivinsky was here as governor. |

Battleships
'Sevastopol', 'Petropavlovsk',
'Poltava' and 'Gangut' were laid in June 1909 in Petersburg
and the construction of new battleships required the use
of private businesses: 'Kulebaki association Prodamet', 'Metal',
'Putilov', Obukhov, 'G. A. Lessner' and of course for electrical equipment, plants 'Dyuflon,
Konstantynowicz & Co.', 'Volta', 'Universal Company of
Electricity', 'Geisler and Erickson'. Acc. to: R. M. Melnikov, 'The battleship "Emperor Pavel I" 1906 - 1925', "... the beginning of all this work (with 'Emperor Pavel I') relates to 1906, when the plants have started to implement orders in mine arms, and until 1912 the ship is in a period of buildings and testing. During this time, were made all the principal mine works, equipped with facilities, installed devices, pumps, duct, radio, floodlights, alarm systems and all electrical installations. Since 1912, the ship enters into ... fleet ... Ship's electrical systems ... the ship in 1911 taken from plants: the Baltic, Volta, Geisler, 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' and from the Kronshtadt port. ... In 1911, on the march back from Kronstadt to Revel was acceptance ... electric steering device, manufactured by the 'Volta'. ... there are two portable electric water turbines made by 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' tested in 1912 ... Two electric winches ... were installed at the ship and manufactured by 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' in 1911. ... shunt motor for polishing metal capacity of 1 kilowatt ... in 1911 made by the 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' and installed on a ship ... In 1912, from the plant of 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz', were two 90-cm. projectors of Sotter with gilt metal parabolic reflectors. Spotlight placed on the anterior and posterior bridges on the rails, which can be rolled from side to side...".
Curiosity: on 28 August 1909 a robbery at a very mysterious circumstances, committed in the night of August 14 at the factory company 'L. Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Company' on Lopukhinsky Street. The plant was guarded by night watchmen, but from the office was stolen 5000 rubles. The money were intended for delivery to the workers. One key had got a porter, the other an accountant and no traces on the walls. In 1910 reveals 'Aeronautic Division' of
'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co.' in St. Petersburg to deliver a business
aviation on an industrial basis. |

"In 1892, Swiss citizen, L. F. Dyuflon / Duflon (built in St. Petersburg plant for the production of electrical equipment and) opened in St. Petersburg 'Electrical studio'. In the same year 1892 L. F. Dyuflon / Duflon concluded a cooperation agreement with
Moscow businessman A. Konstantinovich / Константинович / Apollon (Apollo) Konstantynowicz son of Wasyl /
Wasilij Константинович, the owner of the technical
office.
Together
they take on more complex projects, and soon the company was the first
military orders. Only a few years, and its mechanisms and electrical
devices are mounted on Russian shipyards, battleships and to
coastal artillery batteries ... in 1896
Konstantynowicz and K. Dyuflon build a new plant and establish
joint-stock company 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and company'. The
firm 'Deca' in addition to the main office in St. Petersburg, which
was headed by Dyuflon opens branch in Moscow (headed by Konstantynowicz / Константинович).
Soon the production of 'Deca' is widely known, and representative of JSC
appear in Kharkov and Yekaterinburg / Ekaterinburg, address: Main Avenue, the Izboldin house, ... industrial
regions of Ukraine, Tavria, Volga and Ural. Business are
growing along with demand for high quality equipment. It is planned to
open offices in Kronstadt, Revel (now Tallinn), Nikolayev and Sevastopol. For the development of
new products plant 'Deca' in St. Petersburg is equipped with latest
imported equipment specially purchased in France, England and America, but
do not stop and his own. Beginning of the twentieth century marked
... the conquest of the air disaster. There are first guided balloons
- airships and fundamentally new type of technology - the airplane. While
this is not transportation, but rather fun. Undertake the construction of
single-aircraft enthusiasts. ... of 1910 reveals 'Aeronautic Division' in St.
Petersburg to deliver a business aviation on an industrial basis. In 1912 JSC 'Deca' is participating in
the tender for the construction of airships for the military departments
of Russia. The airship was constructed in full conformity with technical
specifications and tested in
1913. The experiment was considered successful and
commercially viable, and in the same year was founded a specialized
aviation workshop as a structural part of the company 'Deca' (shareholders are thinking about such promising areas as aeronautics and aviation and aircraft engines). When the First World War broke out, JSC 'Deca' has received a loan to expand aircraft production under the production of airplanes and engines, from domestic materials. But space, material and manpower resources to carry out new plans in the Russian capital was not enough, and we had to consider options for building a new plant in the province. Among them was a small town Aleksandrovsk in Ekaterinoslav province" (Copyright 2006 - 2011 by

Only five of airships had been built in Russia before 1914 and we exactly constructed (the fifth in order) to Russian Army in the plant of DEKA an airship named "Kobchik" type "Blimp" as early as 1912 (with two engines 45 hp, and length 48 m; speed 50 km/h according to "Taschenbuch der Luftflotten", 1st Issue 1914, Vol. 1 "Airships" by F. Rasch and W. Hormel, published in Germany, worked out by Thomas Heinz http://www.internetelite.ru/aircrafts/airships.html; the picture from: http://info.dolgopa.org). Airship i.e. an "aircraft that consists of a cigar-shaped gas bag, or envelope, filled with a lighter-than-air gas to provide lift, a propulsion system, a steering mechanism, and a gondola accommodating passengers, crew, and cargo. (...) NON-RIGID airships, now commonly known as blimps, are the most common type in use. The non-rigid airship has no frame and the envelope holds its shape due to the pressurized lifting gas inside." The DEKA company owned an infrastructure for airships i.e. a hangar, workshops and warehouses in St Petersburg before the First world war. War, revolution and civil war interrupted further development until 1920, when the Soviets built their first small blimp. June, 1912: Vote of 150 aeroplanes (140 to be built at home); November, 1912: Military trials results: 1. Sikorsky in a "Sikorsky"; 2. HABER in a "M. Farman"; 3. Boutmy (BUTMI) in a "Nieuport". December, 1912: Aeronautical school re-organised; 15 pupils per school at a time - course made seven months. A one month course in aeroplanes, aerial motors, etc. Of the pupils, 10 to be selected for aeroplanes. New flying school established at Tashkent in TURKESTAN. Only in Army Aviation in March, 1913: new schools established at Moscow, Odessa and OMSK. At the end of 1913: the number of actual military pilots was 72. There was a special volunteer corps of about 36 private aviators; total to 108 in Russia. In Navy Aviation: July, 1912 - Lieut. ANDREADI, did a flight from Sevastopol to Petersburg.

When the First World War broke out, JSC 'Deca' has received a loan to expand aircraft production under the production of airplanes and engines, from domestic materials. But space, material and manpower resources to carry out new plans in the Russian capital was not enough, and we had to consider options for building a new plant in the province. Among them was a small town Aleksandrovsk in Ekaterinoslav province (Copyright 2006 - 2011 by 'Science & Technology', No 10 (53), 2010). The
third company in Russia in terms of the electronic

1915 |
DEKA JSC in December 1915 bought buildings and equipment in a town Aleksandrovsk in order to changeover of activity. During the First World War the firm DECA was one of the best electrical companies in the country, was equipped with American equipment and have trained engineers, technicians and production staff. For 1914 - 1917 value of the new equipment has increased from 473 thousand to 2.5 million rubles; in 1897 one ruble = 0.774 grams gold. The monthly production volume in July 1914 to December 1916 increased by 6 times. On 24 October 1917 value belonging to the plant property, plant and equipment was estimated at 5.5 million rubles. To 1917 plant was a wide-venture and had 6 major divisions: the ship and shore-based tower systems, searchlight, aviation, mechanical, magneto and telegraph technology, in which there were 17 workshops (a searchlight or spotlight is an apparatus that combines a bright light source with some form of curved reflector or other optics to project a powerful beam of light ... By 1907 it was using to assist attacks against torpedo boats, enemy ships at greater distances, were also used by battleships and were installed on many coastal artillery batteries). DECA paid good dividends on the market in 1913: 500-ruble share of the Company was assessed at the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange at 850 rubles. The capital of 750 thousand rubles as 1500 registered shares by 500 rubles, only in 1903 had given net profit totaled 62.1 thousand rubles. In 1913, fixed capital - 1.5 mln rubles, that is 1500 shares at 500 rubles and 7500 shares at 100 rubles; balance - 4.181.995 rubles; dividend - 12 % per share for 500 rubles and 3 rubles 12 kopeek per share for 100 rubles. From June 1901 to October 1917 Joint-stock company 'Deca' has received about 3.5 million rubles net profit. In June 1918 the company was nationalized. 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' in Petersburg - the number of workers in 1900 - 1910 year: 170 and in 1911 - 1917: 250 or in January 1905 - 179 workers; in January 1914 - 240; 1917 - more than 820. The factory produced an electro-mechanical equipment for the Navy of Russia.

1916 - 1917 |
The Deka built up the military manufactory of aeroengines in a town Aleksandrovsk (i.e. in Zaporozh'e either Zaporoze or Zaporizhzhya / Zaporozhye) in 1916. The Stavka (Supreme High Command of the Russian Military) and Russian military intelligence were interested in such experimental production with advanced technology in actuality and this headquarters laid down actual line of research into the Deka mechanical powers for aircraft, e.g. general P. W. Pniewski ordered to enforce norms of special steel for aeroengines in Petrograd at the end of 1916. ![]() The "Main war - technical board" under W. A. Semkowski concluded a big contract with joint stock company of electrical firms (i.e. particular, separate businesses from Duflon / Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co. abbreviated as DEKA) from Petrograd on 01 February 1916 in order to construct in the plant of DEKA two experimental aircrafts of professor Gheorghe Botezat by 01 or 20 October 1917 (with aeroengine "Renault" and with a gyroscope - wheel which, when spinning fast, keeps steady the object in which it is fixed - the first automatic pilot) but the professor has been gone abroad earlier. The stock society DEKA received twice considerable government subsidies on research & development in 1916 but the magnetos to aero engines produced here continuously in co-operation with the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute (magneto i.e. electric apparatus for producing sparks in the ignition system of an internal combustion engine). And
it was soon built the section of aero engines in Zaporozhye = Zaporizhzhya
under the general chief N. R.
Brilling; an area of the factory had got 39 millions m²
according to "History of building airplanes
in the USSR" by B. V. Shavrov of 1985. In 1915, 'Deca' bought the plant of Moznaimov brothers and rebuild it under the issue of internal combustion engines and in particular - aviation; the first contract with the Government for an engine type '100' and 20 engines type Benz - Mercedes. The Mersedes (i.e.
Mercedes) aero engines manufactured here in
the second half of 1916 and expected 10 - 15 engines monthly
(e.g. the Mercedes - type 100 hp from DEKA
factory and "Deka M-100" in Zaporozh'e as early as 28
September 1916, at a later date DEKA 166/168/170 hp and it were produced
here ten aero engines DEKA 129 hp with six cylinders monthly
in the end of 1916, and DEKA M-170 hp in 1917; extra the "Benz" and
"Mercedes" aero engines manufactured here also in 1917; the DEKA
Company learned production of the piston engines since September
1916: M-6, M-11, M-22, M-85, M-86, M-87, M-88, Ash-87FN,
Ash-62JR,
often superior
and better than foreign engines). Major General Pniewski said in parliament about the DEKA company in November 1916: "This is the first aeroengine as a whole from the Russian materials of experimental line of 5 pieces by 100 hp". The day of complete success - DEKA M-100, the first Russian six-cylinder water cooled engine constructed on 15 / 28 September 1916. This date can be regarded as the birthday of Russian domestic air industry; before 1916 Russia only imported aircraft engines. So incompetent paralleled researches into the Mercedes engines conducted Anthony Fokker in Germany who was from Holland and Heinrich Focke b. 1890. About details and photos of the MERCEDES aviation engines or on the Mercedes-Daimler Motorengesellschaft from Stuttgart-Unterturkheim, see: "Jane's fighting Aircraft of World War I", by John W. R. Taylor, England 1919 and London 1990 ("Studio Editions"). The War Department wants to procure large quantities an airplane's bullets and even in 1917 our Joint-stock company 'Deka' was commissioned 400 thousand 'bullets, to shoot from airplanes' but the plant in July passed this order the army. At present in 2007 "LSR Group planned to open 3 new first class business-centers. Electric City business centre of 340 thousand square metres was designed by architects Sergey Choban and Evgeny Gerasimov in 10, Medikov
Prospect in St Petersburg, in the historic building of 'Duflon,
Konstantinovich and Co' plant - 'Electric plant'. ... LSR
Group founded in 1993, LSR Group is one of the leading real estate
development, construction and building materials companies in
Russia". ![]() I will take pains to collect information on all and somebody who reads need to know about. You don't need to thank me; I'm happy to help whenever I can. I think that we are all agreed in this matter, and therefore there needs no more words about it.. 'Omsk Engine-Building Production Association' originates from the plant in Alexandrovsk / Zaporizhia, a joint stock company 'Deka' and produces aviation piston engines of foreign models. Was restored in 1920. |

Romanowicz Brilling
elaborated aeroengine with two opposite pistons when acted as chief in DEKA factory (Duflon either Duflou or Dufflon & Konstantynowicz) in Zaporozhye 1916 - 1918. Brilling i.e. Briling; Russian, b. 1876, Russian and Soviet expert of aeroengines after completion of the Moscow Polytechnic, twice under arrest due to distribution of Lenin's "Iskra", 1907 doctor in field of engines, 1908 - 1915 professor of the Moscow Polytechnic and chief of a special engine lab here, 1911 wrote thesis about internal combustion engines; ![]() "the Soviet Council of Labor and Defense issued instructions for the creation of a Commission for Organization of the Design of the Aerosled = KOMPAS in 1919, and the membership of the commission included such leading designers as N. E. Zhukovskiy - its scientific director and N. R. Briling, who was selected (according to Valeriy Potapov; this quotation without the Author's written permission) as director of KOMPAS - it was Briling himself who had laid the foundation for aerosled design shortly before World War I in 1912 - mass production of transport aerosleds was begun in the Russo-Balt i.e. Russian-Baltic Plant in Tsarist Russia" |
Wladymir Jakowlewicz
Klimow after completion of the Moscow Polytechnic in 1917 worked as trainee in DEKA factory in Zaporozhye, he designed a certain aero engine of his own here in 1917 and received an award at professor N. R. Brilling's hands (Klimow i.e. Klimov; Russian, b. 1892, main constructor of the Soviet aeroengines since 1935). In August 1916 was a test of the first aircraft engine 'DECA M-100'. Inline six-cylinder water cooling, such as 'Mercedes'. His drawings created under the direction of engineer Vorobyov from Alexandrovsk / Zaporozhye Plant of St. Petersburg stock company Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co., abbreviated as DECA but "in this study involved a student of the Moscow higher Technical School of the Imperial Vladimir Klimov, the future chief designer of engines 'VC', founder of the OKB-117 (now JSC 'Klimov', Saint Petersburg), which took place at the time as the factory practice". |

Bedrich Urban (born 1880, d. 1940?) signed on with the Konstantynowiczs in year 1908 and he worked for "Duflon & Konstantynowicz" 1908 - 1911 in St Petersburg. Urban has got experience from "Tallinn Volta" 1904 - 1908. Bedrich Urban was engineer constructor and after 1911 - 1918 worked for Siemens - Schuckert factory in St Petersburg as director manager according to Rain Vaikla. 1918 came back to Estonia and he was owner of the 'Bureau Ins. B. Urban & Co.' for technical products and metal products business, tools, engines, steam engines, turbines and Skoda car factory representation in Estonia. 'Siemens-Halske' played a key role in the formation of the St. Petersburg electrotechnical industry before the First Warld War but in this city were other businesses: 'Universal Company of Electricity', 'United Cable Plants', 'Schuckert and Co.', 'Dyuflon, Konstantynowicz and Co.', 'Society battery factories Tudor'. From 1898 'Plant of dynamos Siemens-Schuckert' and in 1895, Erickson launched the company 'NK Geisler and Co.', which has American roots. 'Glebov plant' really was the only Russian electromechanical company in Petersburg. All the rest were foreigners, mainly British and Germans but however, one plant was with mixed capital: 'Dyuflon and Konstantynowicz' so-called 'Deca', but it was mainly French.
According to JOHN SPARGO an author of "RUSSIA AS AN AMERICAN PROBLEM", ed. NEW YORK and LONDON in 1920 by Harper & Brothers: "The four principal manufacturers
of electrical machinery in Russia were
Siemens -
Schuckert, General Electric
Company, Siemens & Halske, and Duflon,
Konstantynowicz & Co. These companies made practically all
the generators and transformers produced in Russia, the first
two companies named producing two-thirds of the whole. Of the
four companies named three were simply Russian branches
of German concerns, the last named, the
Duflon-Konstantynowicz firm, being
French. These factories were quite unable to meet the demand
for generators, transformers and other electrical
machinery even before the
war".

Petrovich Vologdin 1881 - 1953. According to Jan Schneiberg / Ian Shneyberg: "Valentin Petrovich Vologdin was born 1881. His father, Piotr A. Vologdin worked as a mining superintendent of the Kuva Metallurgical Plant. ... After moving this family to Perm, Valentin ... enrolled in 1892 to Perm real school. ... In 1900 he successfully passed the examinations to the Petersburg Institute of Technology. ... participated in the demonstrations of the revolutionary ... students. ... he was arrested ... Through the application of a professors of Technology Institute, he was enrolled in the engineering corps soldier ...". V. P. Vologdin began his work after return to St. Petersburg. His real activity began in 1910 in the field of the construction of Russian-built generators for radio communications. "V. P. Vologdin created several original designs, the first of which was built in 1912 for naval stations. ... in 1912, has developed its own ... radiogenerator ... to the naval radio station, manufactured by the factory of Glebov. A year later, in 1913, Vologdin creates a more powerful machine (6 kW at a frequency 20 kHz), which was used for radiotelephone between crests and the main port of Admiralty in St. Petersburg at a distance of 5 km". He worked for the French - Russian plant in 1912 - 1918, now part of the Admiralty shipyard, the plant “Duflon & Konstantinovich” (Deka); he designed a certain generator at the plant Electrik (former Deka) in St. Petersburg, and also an high frequency alternator for radio engineering purposes in Russia, with 2 kW, 60 kHz for the Navy and planned to work on much larger machines for radio stations and (1915) on heavy aircraft Ilya Murometz by Igor I. Sikorski. Prof. Valentin Petrovich Vologdin played
an outstanding role
in radio engineering and electrotechnology.
"V. P. Vologdin
becomes head of the technical bureau at the plant 'Dyuflon and
Konstantynowicz' near by St. Petersburg. The company produced the
high-power generators, which were cheaper than foreign and reliable in
operation. ... representatives of foreign firms invited him to work, but
he rejected all the proposals and wants to create own research laboratory.
During the ... war ... Valentin Petrovich was already
working as technical director, produced not only high-frequency
machine radios, and generators for airplanes, different equipment for
military installations". "He played a special role in the
development of the Russian radio industry initially as an expert
in power conversion technique and then as one of its organizers. Vologdin
is also a pioneer of high frequency electrotechnology"
(see:
research by Vladimir
I. Roginskii, published in
1981, Leningrad). Valentin Petrovich
Vologdin was the founder of the industrial use of
high-frequency current technology including
shipbuilding, with Michail Boncz Brujewicz
(Bonch-Bruevich),
the foremost expert in
the radio valves in the tsarist Russia. In 1918, Valentin Petrovich
Vologdin in Lower Novgorod set up scientific Electrotechnical Laboratory
to create radio Science Center, founded the summer of 1918. He has built
two transmitters spark station at Tsarskoe Selo and Khodynskoe field in
Moscow together with M. Bonch-Bruevich, creator of the world's first
electronic tube generator with a copper anode, cooled water.

Igor I. Sikorsky (or Sikorski) born 1889, he spent three years at the Naval College in St. Petersburg 1903 - 1906; Sikorsky's success helped win him a job as head of the airplane division of the Russian Baltic Railroad Car Works in Petersburg 1912 - 1917, that is where he developed hiis first major new airplane design. The R-BVZ manufactured trains, airplanes, engines and automobiles, and it was run by M. W. Szydlowski, who had insight into the importance of aviation's future; the engineering and technical staff at the R-BVZ was expanded by Sikorsky who brought many of them along with him from Kiev; the first airplane built by Sikorsky and his staff at the R-BVZ was the S-6B which was a modified version of the S-6A (by Carl Bobrow - this quotation without the Author's written permission). In 1920 a business - company of 'Sikorsky - Ukraine', was half of state company, started to operate.

"The Russo-Baltic Wagon Company had a director Michal Szydlowski who was an ex-navy man with connections to the Russian military and he managed to convince the Imperial Russian Air Force (IRAF) to utilize the "Murometz" for reconnaissance and bombing purposes; in December 1914 Szydlowski himself, with the rank of Major General, took over command of the "Squadron of Flying Ships" known as the EVK (Aleksander Serednicki; captain Jozef Baszko died in Riga 1946 - son of Stanislaw from the Vicebsk goverrnnment; captain Robert Nizewski b. 02.05.1885 as Catholic and captain Kazimierz Zagorski were pilots here, according to my research work); Szydlowski (...) brought Sikorsky to his base and together they managed to overcome the teething problems; (...) the pre-war Murometz was designed to use German-built engines, which obviously were not available and Sikorsky experimented with a range of Russian (DEKA aeroengine according to me) and British engines, but never achieved the desired level of performance; these problems, together with the low level of Russian manufacturing, meant that only 75 (or 70 - 80) of this outstanding aircraft were produced during the war; Szydlowski decided, after the revolution, that he had no future in Russia, and he convinced Sikorsky to leave also; Szydlowski together with his son, was captured trying to cross the border into Finland and they were shot, Sikorsky was luckier and from Murmansk he managed to escape by ship to London" (quotation from ARI UNIKOSKI; this quotation without the Author's written permission). Russia also had the first aviation research center in the world, the Kouczynski (i.e. Kuczynski) Institute and B.C. Steczkin was the author of the theory of the jet-engine. |
Curiosity: the first plant which the Germans built in the Soviet Russia was "Junkers - Werke" in File near by Moscow in 1922; operated till 1925. The Junkers company activated its branches in Rostov by Don and Turkestan in 1925 and also airline "Deruluft". The Soviets increased import of the BMW aeroengines from Munich in Germany after 1925, and in 1928 bought a licence on production of the BMW aeroengines, which the German engineers - from Technische Hochschule in Berlin - assembled in Russia after 1931 (according to professor Andrzej Peplonski of 1996).
Do you know? In Poland after second world war was a proverb about DEKA Company that any bad car with defective engine is "deka- wka / dekawka / decavca", i.e. proverbial junk! By all means! ... in an imagination of our "worshippers"...
Key note

Among relatives and next of kins of our Mscislau branch appeared the Zarako Zarakowski family in the second half of 19th cent. and in the 20th cent.; the Spychalski family was related to kinsmen of our lineage at the turn of the 20th century and in the middle of the 20th cent.; the Jaroszewicz family had connection to our line in the middle of the 20th cent. (the Jaroszewicz house derived from the Vicebsk province and had Prus the 1st arms, they possessed here the Ostupiszcze estate from Gruzewski family since 1710 to the end of the 18th cent.; Jerzy Piotr Jaroszewicz with Kwaczynski nickname was an officer here in 1713 - 1714 and somebody here in 1716; related to Kownacki, Rymaczewski and Kopakowski according to Jan Ciechanowicz, vol. 3; among others several of the Jaroszewiczs died in Old Bychow in 1655; priest Manuel Jaroszewicz in Sluck A.D. 1666, Roman Jaroszewicz in Mahileu in 1682, and Jan Jaroszewicz in Vilna 1720 - 1722, another Jan Jaroszewicz and also his son Jan lived in Szaule near by Mejszagola in 1753, Ludwik Jaroszewicz lived in the Mscislau province in 1764; the Jaroszewiczs were related to Jankowski, Olszewski and Chodasiewicz families in the Dzisna district and also they served Radzivill family in the Minsk government at the turn of the 20th cent.; Dmitrij Jaroszewicz son of Konstantin, Russian admiral); the Swierczewski family was near socially associated with us, for instance in the sixtieth of the 20th century. Some Generals, Prime Minister, the Head of State and one marshal of the communistic Poland - creators of the Soviet transitory administration 1943 / 1990 - derived from these families. Relatives of our Konstantynowicz / Константинович branch kept in touch with Jozef Pilsudski, Michal Zymierski and Wladyslaw Sikorski at the moment in the first half of the 20th century - marshals and General with different political views. It wonder that three Marshals and General - military prosecutor died with natural death but three remaining Generals died with tragic one. Generals of communistic People Polish Army: Karol Swierczewski, Piotr Jaroszewicz and Marian Spychalski (later on the Marshal) in the fourties of the 20th century were deputies of Michal Zymierski - Marshal and communistic Minister of Defense. The genealogy of my Mscislau "inlet" of the Konstantynowicz ancestry point out long and strong connections with the Imperial Russian Army and Russian military intelligence since the seventies of the nineteenth century and after when they served in tsarist Georgia / Sakartvelo but especial at the turn of the 20th century. It was the tsarist military technology intelligence at the beginning of the 20th century. This connections fade away probably at the end of the 20th century? |

The first was General Aleksandr Rodzianko ...The second to rise to the top was a product of the revolution, Major General Stanislav Bulak-Balakovitch who styled himself as the Ataman of Peasants and Partisan Legions. He had begun his military career in 1915 as a private gaining an officership as a reward for organizing Polish guerilla units in German occupied territory. When the revolution came, he had thrown his support to the Bolsheviks only to desert with 1000 men, four machine guns, and 120 horses and join the Northern Corps at Pskov where he promoted himself from captain to major general. Bulak-Balakovitch became the corps' co-field commander. ... Rodzianko attached his men to the Estonians. On 4 January 1919, the Estonians (struck)... Rodzianko began to organize the liberated territory. ... nearly 5000 bayonets were added to the corps. ... British observers placed the corps numbers at just under 7000.

Stankiewicz |
The
Stankiewicz ancestry
with the Wadwicz coat of arms lived in the
Minsk and
Mscislau provinces,
according to
Kasper Niesiecki,
vol. 8 (among others 1648
and 1661) as
early as the 17th century; the Mazyr district, the province of Polack
A.D. 1674. They were related to
Kotowski and
Oginski families.
According to
Jan Ciechanowicz,
vol. 5, p. 134 - 135: Stankiewicz or Stankevicius of the Mogila,
Boncza and Wadwicz coats of arms; they were near related to
Bilewicz (or
Billewicz)
family from Samaites at the turn of the 16th century. There are
information about Jan Stankiewicz in
Samaites and
Vilna A.D. 1635 and about Michal and Adam Mikolaj here in 1648; Jan
Mikolaj from
Raseiniai region
in 1646, and also Kazimierz in 1658; about Stefan from the Minsk
province in 1697 and Adam Stankiewicz in Samaites 1788. They verified
the Mogila coat
of arms on March
16th, 1835 and derived from Samaites territory in
Lithuania. Here they owned Raseiniai in 1535 and next moved to
Vilkmerge district (Kirbutiszki
and Krekszle farms).
The noble Stankiewicz family with the Wadwicz coat of arms came of the
Orsa district,
and next in the
Asmjany one,
also the Minsk province
and the Mscislau one. They verified the Wadwicz coat of arms in
Minsk on
February 25th, 1828; besides they lived in the
Braslau region.
You can to see interesting website on the Stankiewicz family, http://republika.pl/aord/stankiewicz.htm among other things about: 1. Wladyslaw, Adam and Witold Stankiewicz from Vilna; 2. Antoni from the Minsk government (b. circa 1870, the member of the Civil Guard in Minsk in 1918); 3. Feliks b. 1927 in Babrujsk;
4. The Stankiewicz family from Przydrusk village near by Daugavpils was related to
colonel Jan Stankiewicz. Przydrusk = Przydrujsk or Piedruja in the former Grand duchy of Lithuania, and
Latvia now, 44 km West of Malkiewicz's Old Svolna = Stara Swolna;
Jan Stankiewicz born 04.04.1862 in Vilna / Wilno as son of Franciszek
Stankiewicz with the Mogila coat of arms and Pelagia nee Sienkiewicz, got married
to Maria Odrowaz
in 1886 and next as colonel served and lived in
Riga / Ryga 1887
- 1909 / 1910 and
possesed the Awocin
property
in Latvia to c. 1910; the friend
of the minister Jozef Beck
parents from Riga and
acquaintance of
Jozef Pilsudski in August 1919 in
Wilno; the relation of Butrym family. Colonel
Jan Stankiewicz was Polish educational activist and freedom fighter
within the Pilsudski undercover movement before 1910 in Riga. Colonel Jan Stankiewicz
had withdrawn from the Russian Army on 01.01.1918, and the Bolsheviks assented to this
discharge on 28.02.1918; reunion with family
in Smolensk
after
January 1918; and next after settled himself
in Vilna
/ Wilno /
Vilnius
in 1918 or maybe after spring 1919. But
he served for the Polish Army just since April 1919 and
as
brigade-general in October 1923; died in Milanowek near
to Warsaw in December 1945.
5. Bronislaw from Riga (b. 1913,
his grandfather Nikodem was policeman in Riga). He was mistaken for colonel Gustaw Stankiewicz son of Marian from the Siedlce government b. 1860 - 1918 who was maybe commandant of the 2nd Polish Corps in Ukraine in accordance with Nicman of 1995 and with a Moscow Archive of 2000, and Gustaw died in 1918 over a fight against "reds" somewhere in Ukraine; also he was mistaken with Sylwester Stankiewicz, according to Vronskya J. of 1992.. Sylwester Stankiewicz born 1866 and died in Taganrog close to Rostov-na-Don in March 1919; maybe since 10th January 1918 to 28th March 1918 as the commandant of the 2nd Polish Corps in Moldova and Ukraine; General-Lieutenant Sylwester Stankiewicz after served for general Anton Denikin in the Voluntary Army with 3000 Russian soldiers; maybe since January 1919 under command of general Piotr Vrangel. It's not plain statement seeing as turned up just now and come in from East surely. Entries in Wikipedia of September 2008 on Gustaw and Sylwester (!) have got only currently edited references and there are mistakes in details. Main former historians: Baginski H., Dowbor - Musnicki J., Holowko T. of 1931 and Michaelis E. of 1929 point out Russian General-Lieutenant Jan Stankiewicz as the commandant of the 2nd Polish Corps in Moldova and Ukraine during December 1917 - March 1918.
