I came by conclusion in my genealogical search that among families of Konstantinovich who live in Poland are two or three separate groups:
The eldest information about a Konstantinovich nickname or surname but not about the Fox coat of arms, go back to 07 October 1515 (according to Jan Ciechanowicz) and to the Hrodna area:
Jakub (= Jakov) Konstantinovich sued to a court his neighbour Tolloczko. His relative surely Olechno Konstantinovich in 1539 held a post in the Hrodna municipal tribunal. He sued in 1542 his neighbour Dowtortowicz. Both of named the Konstantinovichs were the landowners of their Duke. However we are lacking information that they had the Fox coat of arms proper already and I don't know if the Konstantinovich nickname was the surname by this date! Or it maybe the Konstantinovich name was only an "otchestvo" (by-name) id est a form deriving from the name Konstanty or Konstantyn with oriental ending "wicz" (= vich). Then the nest of them was in a villages Toloczki (= Tolloczki), Ejsmonty and Jurewicze in the Hrodna region (probably since c. 1500) and they were knighted in 1578 with the Pielesz diverse coat of arms.
A person with a Konstantinovich nickname in the first half of the 16th cent. didn't has to be the person with the Konstantinovich surname. The Konstantinovich ancestry with the Fox coat of arms proper lived (by c. 1600) only in the Troki district, Samaites province (since c. 1550) and in the Minsk province (since c. 1570) according to all armorials. In the Slonim area c. 1600 and in Vilna i.e. Wilno after c. 1640. One of string evidences say us for example that the record of common noble movement of 1528 doesn't point to persons with Konstantinovich surname in any districts of Lithuania according to all historical sources.
Besides I found out about duke Michal Konstantinovich in Vicebsk at the end of the 12th cent., duke Michal Konstantinovich from Vladimir in 1446, Dmitrei son of Konstantin in the 15th century, Polut Konstiantinowic' mid 15th century, Kostiantinowic' Semen mid 15th century, Chebotko Konstiantinow 1540; Iwan Konstantinovich who was an uncle of Jan Mackowicz in Kulbaczyna (the Asmjany district ?) of 1572 and Fedor Konstentinow son of Spits 1552.
Ancestors of the Konstantinovich family who derived from present BUKOVINA (Bukovina joined Austrian Empire in 1775 but it seems to be probable they moved house here from the Austria - Hungarys’ Volhynia after the 1st Partition of POLAND 1772) at the border Ukraine on Roumania; it was the Greek church family in the 19th century perhaps and they (regarded as - in part, by authorities - Ukrainians) were displaced partially to the Mazury - East Prussia - after 1945. Most of them live today in south - easterly Poland. They had own GRECUL (i.e. GREKUL armorial bearings but own GREK arms was Lithuanian origin, according to Mieroszowski) coat of arms in time of the Austria - Hungarys’ Galicia at the beginning of the 19th cent. (Bazyli and Michal Konstantinovich 1803). I take note of them (1821 - 1916 in the Russian Besarabia / Bessarabia; in 1918, Bessarabia declared its independence from Russia): Konstantynowicz Aleksandr / Aleksander son of Piotr / Pietr, Konstantynowicz Zofia daughter of Antoni, Konstantynowicz Zofia daughter of Aleksander, and also in ODESSA, Tschernowzy (= Chernovits) in 1939 - 1940 and in Kiev after the second World War.

Probably our ancestry with the surname of Konstantinovich derive from belorussian (Senko Czyzewicz and his son Konstanty Czyz) Czyz family which was polonised and they were professing catholicism as early as the 16th century; the Czyz house owned the coat of arms of FOX proper since
1534
id est Marcin Konstantinovich Czyz from Nieciecza
either Marcin Czyz Konstantinovich from Nieczyca
or Marcin Czyz Nieczycki (or Nietecki) who was born c. 1495.
Marcin Konstantinovich Czyz, royal courtier from Nieciecza (either Nietiacz or Nietiaz near to Dubrovny and farther Lipniszki) according to:
- Niesiecki 1839
- Czarniecki 1875
- Boniecki 1901
- Leszczyc 1908/13, page 210
- historical magazine of 1914
- historical magazine of April 1938 (number 4/17, page 49)
- Dymmel of 1995.
I can’t give many more information about the question for the sake of my copyright. This is abbreviation of genealogy, "ad perpetuam rei memoriam, non ad publicandam".
Next, unknown of name Konstantinovich Czyz (either Konstantinowicz who was born c. 1530 or Michno Konstantinovich ?) was withdrawing in the last will and testament of his father in
1547
and was destitute of the legacy which daughter Margaret inherited; she had got some brothers.
Part of these Czyz from neighbourhood of LIDA at a later date (either Nieciecz or Nieczyca, 9 km from Lida)
c. 1550
have accepted the Konstantinovich surname (from Christian name of father according to Leszczyc of 1908/13), also retaining the armorial bearings of FOX proper and moved out to the Trakai district and thence to the MINSK province A.D.
1565 / 1575.
Earlier a famous
Michno Konstantynowicz
(id est Michal Konstantinovich - in accordance with The Record of Troki Court of 1585 / 1613, contents of "The Record of [...] Wilno", p. 122, 237 - 238)
received the big estate, an arable ground and forested land from the king Sigismund Augustus on
04 January 1554
i.e. the farmland
Merecz Michnowski
was
situated in the Merkine = Merecz 
area, Merkine parish (the
Troki district),
beside the Niemen river (Neman
or Nemunas);
the above Merkine farmland was situated next to estuary of
Merkys = Mereczanka river (a
chief officer for life of the Merkine area (=
Meretium or Merken
area)
was Jan Janowicz Zabrzezinski = Zaberezenski since 1536) and
the same Michno possessed
a landed property
Zaleskowszczyzna
49 km N-W-N of Lida in the Troki district, too (close by a south - easterly border of the former Trakai district) as early as
1552
and it seems he owned a farmland Merkine in addition id est
Merecz Michnowo
by initial course of Merkys river in the Turgeliai parish, 38 km S-E-S of Vilnius.
We submitted to the authority in Vilna on 19 May 1842 original of the privilege edited by the king on 04 January 1554 to MICHNO (= Michal) Konstantinovich who was endowed with estate in the Merecz area and submitted many of documents of the 18th cent.
This fact noted down in armorials of the Grand duchy of Lithuania:
1578 Konstantinowicz who was born c. 1530
1584 Michal Konstantynowic
1648 Konstantinowicz or Konstantinovich
A legend was about the beginning of the Konstantinovich family. Many said that our family (ancestry) has come from the BALKANS according to "Gutenberg Encyclopaedia" (volume 8); many said that the ancestry had got to descent from Serbian ancestor (janczar), who was Turkish soldier 1455 - 1463, who was afterwards in POLAND (that is since 1470 or 1471); he has written memoirs here (1490-1516 or rather 1496 - 1501) about title "(...) the Turkish chronicle (...)". One copy was in the SAPIEHA Archive. More inf. on the same Turkish soldier - Michal Konstantinovich in F. Bujak, "Studia geograf.-hist.", p. 129 - 134. The main editions of "(...) the Turkish chronicle (...)" in 1828 and 1912 misleaded many of our ancestors. The Kibalczyc family i.e. Kibalcicas have got a legend that tell us about an ancestor from Serbia - the family moved out to the Chernigov province in the Grand duchy of Lithuania in the 17th century - the legend, it's mistake, too.

The Konstantinovich family used POCHOWICZ by-name (or the Pohozy, Pohosha, Pohowicz, Rokoz, Rohoza and Pokoz nicknames, information of 1937) at first in the Minsk province since A.D. 1600. It was a certain family Rohoza in the Orsa district and Verchnjadzvinsk (i.e. Dryssa) region A.D. 1602 / 1643 but it's not our line. |
|
c. 25 August 1601 |
A certain judicial document from the district of Trakai (i.e. Troki) tell us about a noblemen, Jan Sobolewski of Busilolisdy by Kraksznia near by Urkiszki and Stanislaw Kiszka, who litigated against a neighbour from Lachowicze due to the same taken away a little ground in 1600; the landowner called Pawel Konstantynowicz i.e. Pavel Konstantinovich, Matys Gozdziewski and Stefan Stankiewicz to witness at the end of August 1601; we read in the document about neighbours: a family Koklin and Jan Sowgowicz, and also about a functionary from Trakai, Jan Stanislawowicz from Bogdanowicze village; the document signed in Urkiszki and above village Urkiszki i.e. Ulkiszki was situated only 1 km NW of Rudziszki (i.e. Rudiskes, Lithuania now). |

The Konstantinovich family from eastern BELARUS (Antoni Konstantinovich was born c. 1833 - Krycau, Mscislau, Samava) is my ancestors.
1772
this territory was
already in Russia, as the Government of Mahileu after the 1st Partition
of POLAND, I am afraid. 
They partly have moved out to the easternmost parts of the MINSK government to the Berezina parish after circa
1840 (or 1842)
id est in the villages BOROVINA and MIEZONKA (the village is situated 28 kilometres south - east of Berazino = Beresino either Byerazino or Berezina).

SE of Miezonka
The poor nobility in the East Belarus in the first half of the 19th cent. lived in two clumps, west and east group.
The west one, by the Druc' river (near by Sjanno, through Careja and Bobr, to Talacyn and southwards Bjalynicy and next Druc village) and the east one by the Soz river (from Mscislau, through Krycau and to Cacersk, here thickest). In the east group were a big localities, 40 - 850 persons. A fortunes of Poles in this furthest easterly territories of the former Both Nations Republic turned out differently than by Vistula, because not a few Poles had got to choose military service in the Russian Army since the end of the 18th cent. or they worked as engineers in different corners of former Russia since second half of the 19th century. We offer an example of the Czaplic family: Adam Eufemiusz Czaplic from the Mahileu government, nobleman, friend of prince Potiomkin and Russian general fought against the Polish in 1792 and 1794, and also against Napoleon in 1812.
Nonetheless this country, the East Border, signaled to us of attachment for Polish tradition during the January Insurrection in 1863, according to Edward Maliszewski (Edvard Malishevski), ed. in Warsaw in 1920. So in the Mahileu government was plan of the uprising on May 05th, 1863. There were 3.300 insurgents; in the district of Sjanno, at a farm of Slepce - here was a group of Tadeusz Chmurowicz (Tadeush Chmurovich) and W. Szlagier (V. Shlagier), 100 strong. Horki town was conquest by night 05/06 May 1863 (19 km from the present border of Russia and 22 km from Kopceuka). The Orsa group under command of Ignacy Budzilowicz (Budzilovich) fought on May 07th, 1863. In the Mahileu district commanded W. Korsak (or Korsach) and Mancewicz brothers (Mancevich); they got defeated at once in Czarnorucz (Tsharnoruch). Consecutive battle between Russians and Polish rebels took place by Leciachy near to Rahacou by Dnjapro on May 11th, 1863, but already on May 12th and 13th, 1863 all Mahileu insurgents surrendered to Russians near by Zurawicze (Shuravicy, 38 km NE of Rahacou on May, 12th) and in Propojsk (that is Slauhard by Soz = Sosh river now, 75 km E - N - E of Rahacou in the Bychau district) on May 13th, 1863. Besides we know about a battle near by Szczawry (Scadry ?) close to the border of the Minsk government on the Mahileu one. It was similarly in the Minsk government: as early as November 1862 a Convention of the Nobility in Minsk made a statement - summons for uprising. For the first time a fighting was close by Piotrowszczyzna village (Piotrowinka ?, 18 km West of Cerven in the Ihumen district). The group of rebels retreated towards the Mahileu government, through Kolbcza (i.e. Koubca 19 km SW of Miezonka). At the same time, on May 07th, 1863, a group 400 strong fought close by Podberezje (Podbereshje 26 km SW of Cerven) in the Ihumen district, too. Consecutive battle between Russians and Polish rebels near by Loczyn on June 14th, 1863 in the Ihumen district, too (Lucznoje now, 8 km southwards of Cerven). The estate of Gorki had confiscated from Kornel Peliksza in 1863 (21 km of Minsk) after suppressing of the rebellion; Kornel Peliksza acted as chief of the Minsk province during the January Insurrection. Pawel Dybowski (Pavel Dybovski) was a chief in the Minsk district with centre in Stankow (Stankava now, 36 km SW of Minsk); it was property of general and count Emeryk Czapski. In the middle of May 1863, a group from the Ihumen district which came from east side of the Berazino parish (Berezino) under command of Piotr Jesman, after skirmish close to Boguschewitschi, was smashed completely close by Marcjanowka village (Martjanovka north of Boguschewitschi). Melchior Wankowicz older was also the insurgent in 1863.
Notwithstanding the Polish nobility lived on and on in the Mahileu government, for instance in 1865: the west group by Druc' river - 12.188 adullt persons in 521 villages and places, among others 10.447 Roman Catholic; the east group by Soz river - 25.318 persons inn 248 places but only 5.927 Roman Catholic.
Only 3.700 Poles lived in the Mahileu province in 1989, after displacements in 1918 - 21, 1928 - 37, 1941 - 44 and 1952. You can to see also according to Barancewicz : Wyzlacinscy-Bujewicz (rus, pol) Giecewicz (eng,pol,rus) Konstantinovich (eng) Leszkiewicz (bel,rus) Matusiewicz (eng,pol,rus) Tumilowicz (eng)

- we submitted to the authority in Vilna on 19 May 1842 an original of privilege edited by the king Sigismund Augustus on 04 January 1554 to Michno Konstantinovich who was endowed with estate in the Merecz area and submitted many of documents of the 18th cent. (according to: 1. Act of May 24th, 1818 which eliminated a slight i.e. bare nobility from genealogical books = landless nobles or "rabble" in Belarus; 2. Act of October 19th, 1831 which accomplished of division into: "dvorianie" - landowners i.e. possessors = nobles with means, "odnodvorcy" - "cabin" i.e. rural nobility and also "grashdanie" - municipal nobility, the remaining noblemen in Belarus ranked as peasants; 3. Act of November 11th, 1832 - the landowners were divided into parts: proprietors and the persons without estates; 4. Act of 1863 - the rural nobility and municipal one were liquidated); at that time verified themselves a persons derived from the Minsk government i.e. from Babianowszczyzna = Buchta holding (Baguta 15 km west of Smaljavicy); they were in Pileszyszki in the Kovno region after 1766, too:
Jan Konstantinovich and his sons Maciej, Pavel, Samuel, Bazyli, Antoni, Franciszek, Marcin and sons of the above Maciej: Jan II and Michal (childless); from Jan II his sons Adam (childless) and Michal (his sons Walenty Stanislaw, Konstanty, Jan Stanislaw, Jozef Andrzej and Alfons Onufry - they were born by 1840);
- A.D. 1853 in the Minsk government (the Fox coat of arms);
- 1859 in the Vicebsk government (the Fox coat of arms);
- Antoni (son of Dominik derived from area of Krycau) in the Hrodna government 1861 (the Fox coat of arms);
The Fox crest mean strategy, guile, ruse defensive and intelligence - argued in 1997 Mr. Pavel Dudzinski in "Heraldic Alphabet" (p. 118 and plate 314).
The Fox crest is in eleven varieties according to Juliusz count Ostrovski in "Armorial Book of Polish ancestries" of 1897 ed. in Warsaw: 1st - shield and above fox, in shield: arrow upwards with two beams; 2nd - shield and above fox, in shield: golden arrow with two beams; 3rd - shield and above fox, arrow with two and half beams; 4th - three feathers instead of fox above of sshield, with arrow and one beam in shield; 5th - arrow with three transversal beams upon the shield, and also three feathers above the shield; 6th - arrow with two beams on the shield, and also a duke cap with cross at the top; 7th - on the shield: horseshoe and above arrow with two beams, above of shield: crown with swan at the top; 8th - only in Poland in the thirteenth century: arrow with one beam on the shield without objects above of arms, and the arrow upwards; 9th - only shield, arrow downwards with one beam; 10th variety - of the 15th cent., shield with above helmet, and arrow diagonally downwards with two beams; 11th - variety of the 15th cent.: only shield with arrow upwards, and also two beams.
According to Tadeusz Gajl, "Noble crests of the Both Nations Republic", p. 127 and 128: seven kinds of the Fox coat of arms here and the Fox diverse arms of Liskowski family; 1. Fox (Mzura) - one arrow with two transversal rafters; 2. one golden arrow with two beams; 3. lack of image; 4. arrow with one transversal rafter and above three feathers; 5. three rafters on the arrow and three feathers; 6. a cap with cross above of shield, arrow with two beams; 7. shield and above crown with swan, in the shield: arrow with two beams and horseshoe below the arrow. The author write about the Konstantynowicz family of Intestines, Radwan and Fox arms only.
According to Alfred Znamierowski, "Polish regalia, symbols and arms", ed. in Warsaw 2003: discussion on sword - p. 9; about Fox crest - p. 26 and 39: mainly double crossed "rogacina" i.e. arrow; Konstiantin or Kostiantin = Konstantin that is "steadfast, constant"
- 1913 district of Dorohobuz (the Fox coat of arms in Dorogobush)
- 1799 in the Kaunas territory (other coat of arms thereabouts).
A Konstantinovich ancestry with the Bowel coat of arms had Poszeszow estate in the Raseiniai ex-district in the middle of the 16th century. The coat of arms of them authorized in Vilna (1841), and also nine generations and 57 male persons: Jan Konstantinovich and his son Waclaw with the nickname Szwarplowicz c. 1650 and grandsons Jan and Michal - them sons: Krzysztof and Stanislaw; Krzysztof had a sons: Andrzej, Jan and Jerzy; the named Michal had a son Stanislaw and grandson Jerzy; at the end of 18th cent. were 13 persons and 25 persons c. 1830: Nikodem, Jakub, Wincenty, Michal, Kasper, Teodor, Ludwik, Antoni, Kajetan and Teofil. To this Konstantinovich lineage were related the Konstantinovichs with Fox arms proper from Pileszyszki in the Kaunas (here in 1766) district; they derived from famous Michno Konstantinovich who received the big estate: an arable ground and forested land from the king Zygmunt August on 04 January 1554; the farmland was in the Merkine = Merecz area, beside the Niemen river (Neman or Nemunas) by the Merkys = Mereczanka river
- 1817 in the Hrodna district and at a later date they verified privilege of 1578 handed over by the king Stephen Bathory but with another coat of arms i.e. "two swords (some documents from Sankt Petersburg Archive - disclosure to Pavel Konstantinovich in the beginning of August 2004; "the two swords might represent the military service of two brothers, and the star above might signify a successful military engagement", as somebody wrote in successive phase of public discussion about the noble Konstantinovich family, that commenced in the middle of August 2004 in the web net, but the discussion is led by strange persons, not from our roots) which constitute a cross, and a star above them, and feathers of ostrich below (above, I think) the helmet".
I explain the problem to you (on September 10th, 2004): two naked crossing swords without golden hilts, this is fundamental Pielesz arms (priest Wojciech Wijuk Kojalowicz, "Armorial of the Grand duchy of Lithuania knights, so-called Compendium" had written on the Pielesz crest c. 1650, ed. in Cracow 1897: two swords at red field of shield and three feathers from ostrich above - plate, p. 212; it were four families with the Pielesz arms: 1. Ielskj i.e. Jelskij - some with cross among swords, inf. of 1620, 1632 in the Mscislau province and of 1648, 2. Kwasnickj Golden i.e. Kvasnickij or Kwasnicki Golden derived from Moscow, 3. Pieleszyc house in the Vicebsk province, 4. and also Wloszek family from Podlasie - inf. 1584; besides the Golocki family of the Golocki arms according to Kasper Niesiecki, vol. 4 ed. in Lipsk 1839, p. 174 - here effigy of the Golocki coat of arms: two swords on the shield, diagonally crossing with hilts upwards and a cap at the helmet - the shield is the same what the Pielesz one; the family came from Chelmno area in Poland; estates: Goloty, Sarnov near by Grudziadz, Melno, inf. of 1651; moreover Golocki family also with the Pielesz diverse arms according to T. Gajl, p. 67: a cap and two feathers above crown, and beneath two swords with golden hilts upwards in the shield; according to Seweryn Uruski, "Family. The Armorial of Polish nobility", vol. 13, 1916, p. 330: Pielesh i.e. Pielesz family of the Pielesz arms in Lithuania, the district of Panevezys, near by Upita in 1580, also as Pieleszyc; Pieleszyc family with the Pielesz diverse arms - sabres instead of swords in the shield; is said that is the same family what Pielesz; according to J. Ostrowski, p. 437, here plate of the Pielesz arms: two swords with hilts downwards in the shield and three feathers above crown); the Wloszek arms (Vloshek family, according to Gajl, p. 246, with the Pielesz diverse coat of arms, by turns from top to toe: bird above two hunting hornes, crown, shield - two swords with golden hilts and ffour roses between blades; Vloshek / Wloszek family with own Wloszek arms: coat of arms without helmet, and in the shield two crossing swords with golden hilts in palms and three roses between blades; the Wloszek arms come from the Pielesz crest; Niesiecki, vol. 9, 1842, had written about Wloszek family of the Pielesz diverse arms - they added four white roses in red field; Bielski, Paprocki and Okolovich wrote, too) resulted from link between the Pielesz arms and the Roses coat of arms (i.e. Poraj); the Pielesz coat of arms belong to a Sword group (the Kownia arms, Herburt crest, three swords and Pielesz come from the sword group); swords are in 19 arms and variants joined with another objects.
Adding of one star extra to the Pielesz armorial bearings resulted in unknown arms for Mieroszowski (plate 10, pieces 1 - 15, ed. of 1887). It's a Pielesz diverse coat of arms according to me !
This was formerly the Grand duchy of Lithuania from which they came (1795 dissolution of the state). All the direct descendants are from there (Belarus /Belorussia /White Russia/ Byelorussia) thereafter.
The following names of lines are according to my research work:

Searching for an evidences last at present. All proofs show the Troki district by the Mereczanka river as the nest of our beginning and never point to the Hrodna district. All descendants with the Fox coat of arms proper and with our surname Konstantinovich come from the above Michno Konstantinovich; see the Mscislau website: |

search for all information about the village MIEZONKA
where
my grandfather was born on
23 April
1898 either 1897 or 23
April 1900; at present Belarus’, the Bjalynicy (= Belynichi)
region in the Mahileu (=
the
Mogilev province)
"oblast"; the village is situated among grand forest and southwards was
big marsh - Miezonka was at a territory of the Radzivill
enormous estates before A.D. 1840;
this search means a lot to me. The
Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party conducted a
contraband of weapon from Russia to Austria - Hungary
at the beginning of the 20th century keeping
in touch with
Josef Pilsudski (b.
1867) and that track went out from Petersburg among other things across
Miezonka and Lodz (the Tuvim street) in the direction to Galicia; a
certain family from Lodz involved with this activity occupied quarters
in Miezonka (among other things)
all
over the first World War and thus they became a technolators of aviation
and
the basis of the amateurish movement of an aviation
sports in
Lodz after 1920; the
Polish school of Berazino precinct was here in
1918;
farm - houses in Borovina and Miezonka estates were burned down and
sequestered by the Soviets in November 1918 and many
perished; displacement at Ural
and Siberia (the
governments of Perm
and Omsk) from
thence in
winter 1928/29; the
Roman Catholic chapel was here on the German map of 1941. The
Konstantynowiczs survived and got through to date at Белыничи (=
Bia³ynicze, Bielynicze, Belinichi, Belynitchi, Belynichi, Bialyniczy)
region, for example LARYS Konstantynowicz,
a pupil at the Starosjelo /
Starossalje primary school in 2007 and similarly at the Asipovicy region:
a pupil at the
Tatarkov primary school, ALJAKS Konstantynowicz.
Starosjelo / Starossalje close to Klewka and Karytniza /
Korytnica village; NE of Miezonka and near by Olschanez: welcome to my
maps of the Berezino region. There
was a certain Konstantinovich branch from Russia in the Congress Poland
after exile to
Siberia (the
exile to
Irkutsk in 1864).
Next they lived near by Makov
and
thereafter Ciechanov
at
the end of the
19th cent. and derived from
Patrycjusz Konstantinovich +
Anastazja nee Mierzejevski.
Gavryla Konstantinovich born
c. 1810 was father of Patrycjusz and
Zenon, I
think. The document relating to the grant of a certain estate upon this
Konstantinovich branch (territory
of them was situated at the border on Russia) was
in Mikashovka vicarage
till 1945. Polish
emigration to Russia go back to very remote epoches id est in the Tver
province in the 15th cent. during duke Michal Borysovich and
king Casimir
IV Jagiellonian,
and also in the
Kursk and Orel governments and in neighbourhood of Kharkov, in basin of
Kharkov river and Lopania - Doniec tributary. During the
power struggles over the succession, the "False Demetrius" (1605
- 1608),
a polit. adventurer posing as the son of the Tsar, arrived
with Pol. assistance on the scene following famine and unrest; 1605
Pol. troops occupied Moscow and again 1610 - 1612, and also
in the "Time of Troubles" (1605
- 1613)
entire stream of
Polish and Lithuanian rovers and Cossackes of Zarucki spilt
to Astrakhan, Jaik, Tula and Archangel. A lots of noble
ancestries in Russia carried Polish surnames, as Butkievich,
Cholevinski,
Tomashevski,
Jakimovich,
Dobrovolski,
Teodorovski,
Telakovski,
Sviecicki
and
admitted Polish origin. A Siberian chronicles from the
17th cent. included
mentions about the Polish, e.g.: Czernikowski
(i.e.
Chernicovski)
- clerk in Ust'huta (i.e.
Ust Kut)
by
Lena river,
and next he was head of Albazin area (basin
of
Amur)
i.e.
Daurien region;
functionary
Jerzy Krzyzanowski (Krzyshanovski)
in
Okhotsk.
Jan (Ivan)
Bialobocki, Polish nobleman from a Przemysl region,
son of Polish colonel, arrived in Moscow A.D. 1681 and next he worked
in Russian diplomacy e.g. in
China.
Prof.
V. Kluchevskij wrote
on Polish, Ukrainian and Lithuanian teachers in tsar court in the 17th
cent. (e.g.
Szymon Polocki).
We know about a court painters: Stanislaw Lopucki, Jan
Mirowski et ceteri, about Polish musicians in Russian court: Jerzy
Proskurowski, Jan Kolendo, Mikolaj Dylecki from Vilna, Bogdan
Zawalski, Kazimierz Wasilewski, Szymon Gutowski in 1667 at alii
according to Prof.
Janusz Tazbir.
Polish customs prevailed over Russian one at the tsarist
court under Fiodor III Aleksandrovich (1676
- 1682)
and his wife
Agafia Gruszecki,
Polish noblewoman from the Smolensk government.
The Kiev Orthodox Academy was determined as Polish - Latinized until
1742. Polish - Ukrainian architect Ivan Zarudny acted in
Moscow, and
Lazarz Baranowicz from
Chernigov who
had published a lot of Polish books in Novgorod
Seversky. Just
after the Partitions of Poland (1772
- 1795),
the Polish
abundantly poured into Russia,
and a description
had given
Karol Lubicz Chojecki,
insurgent of Counter - Confederation of Bar (1768
- 1772);
he met the Polish in exile in Kazan, Tara and Tobolsk - about here
since
1733 / 1735,
id est during the Pol. War of Succession, when Rus. troops forced the
election of August III of Saxony, the Austro - Rus. candidate
to the throne, over Stanislas
Lesczinski,
the Fr. candidate. The same Chojecki met Polish exiles in Orel and
Kaluga. He also met count
Beniowski in
Kazan (Maurycy
August Beniowski 1746 - 1786, exiled to Kamchatka in 1770, an escape to
Macao in 1771).
The Bar insurgents stayed in different corners of Russia and
Siberia 10.000 strong, according to
S. W. Maksimow in
"Siberia and exile" (among
other things in
Orenburg,
Omsk
and
Tobolsk,
where 600 insurgents got to mutiny after 1783).
Russian
historian
Ogloblin described
mutiny in
Krasnoyarsk,
where stayed the Polish,
too. German historian
Pallas wrote
about Polish exiles in Siberia in the 17th and 18th cent., by
Lena (here
numerous places: Polskaja Polana, Polskaja Pasznia, Polskaja Doroga)
and Yenisei (near
by
Yeniseisk).
The exiles of
1794,
as
Judycki,
Tarnowski,
Domaszewski et
ceteri soon adopted Russian. The Napoleon soldiers came back from
Siberia to the Congress Poland in 1815.
A
Polish colonies in Moscow, Kherson (since 1784),
St Petersburg, Kharkov (Andrzej
Dudrewicz)
and Odessa (Czacki,
Stanislaw Soltyk,
Jozef
Drzewiecki and
Michal
Walicki
since 1802 and next
Sobanski family,
Zofia Potocki, Elzbieta
Branicki;
Polish
villages near by
Odessa:
Kochanowka, Marianowka, Mazurowka, Jablonskie, Zofiowka,
Wandalinka, Stanislawka, Poniatowka, Potockie, Wielkie Potockie and
Sewerynowka)
appeared under of the Tsar Alexander
I.
At the same time Russian educational system was
overhauled by duke Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (in 1802),
priest Hieronim Stroynowski from Vilna (in
1803)
and count Seweryn Potocki. Even
Jozef Wybicki (1747
- 1822, leader of the Insurrection in 1794, 1795 - 1807 emigration in
France)
had became a supporter of the Tsar since 1813 to his death in
1822. Not a few Poles from Belarus and Lithuania had got to choose a
military service in the Russian Army since the end of the
18th cent.: about 12.000 Polish soldiers performed a military service
in Russian Army in
1794, but only 3.000 in 1795. Two
regiments, Polish and Tartar - Lithuanian (with
colonel
Jakub Mustafa Baranowski,
general in 1812),
had organized just in
1797, and five regiments in 1807: the Volhynia
regiment, Lubnie one, Tartaran, Lithuanian and Polish. We can to
estimate total of the Polish in Russian Army in 1812 -
about 4500 Polish volunteers in all army (generally
about 500 Polish officers: in the 1st West Army and 2nd Russian West
Army served 244 officers from Byelorussian governments and
from Ukraine, e.g. Wladyslaw Branicki son of Ksawery, colonel in 1812;
colonels: Karol Kunicki, Ulan - Polanski from Lithuania and
Leon Skorulski from Lithuania, too; major Jan Chlewinski from Ukraine)
according to
Jaroslaw Czubaty.
New
waves of Polish exiles were getting to pour into Russia and Siberia
after plots of Walerian Lukasinski (1819
- 1823)
and the Filaret Society
(1817
- 1823):
Adam
Mickiewicz,
Zan,
Jan Czeczot (born
1796 or 1797 - died 1847, exiled to Russian inland, discharged in 1841),
Jezewski and
Prof. Jozef
Kowalewski -
orientalist in Mongolia and China;
Alexander Chodzko
- next in Persia; Jan
Witkiewicz
in Turkestan. At
the same time with shutdown of the Vilna University (in 1831)
and College of Krzemieniec, opened up, activated Polish law and
theological faculties in Moscow and St Petersburg, and next
started off influx of Poles. At University of Kharkov lectured:
Dudrewicz vice-chancellor,
Jan
Krynski
- zoologist,
"Historical Atlas by William R. Shepherd" (shepherd-c-130-131.jpg)
and
it show to us where the Mscislau branch and relatives lived c.
1600 - 1917 in the Both Nations Republic -
formerly the Grand duchy of Lithuania
/ Grand Principality of
Lithuania, 1795 dissolution of the state
but all the direct descendants are from there: Belarus
/Belorussia /White Russia / Byelorussia thereafter.
Comment
about the Polish
emigration to Russia

Lithuania was
exiled 54000 strong
(without
recruits)
only in 1832 -
1849, and
again after 1863. Just then

Enormous wave after uprising in 1863 - 1864 was largest of everything.
Many of them in Siberia ("The overall number of persons exiled from the Kingdom of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine for participation in the uprising of 1863-64 reached 36.459. Between 1863 and 1868 these exiles were assigned to locations throughout the empire, with between 18.000 and 24.000 going to Siberia" according to Andrew Gentes; 18.623 persons exiled into Siberia according to W. Sieroszewski; it were exiled - regular exile mainly to Tomsk, Tobolsk and Irkutsk governments, life hard labour and penal military service - in all to Siberia about 30.000 or 38.000 persons according to anothers sources; other search: after the January Insurrection 1863 / 5 all in all exiled - since spring of 1863 by middle of 1866 - 33.958 Poles; according to Russian Home Office exiled 36.958 (among others about 10.000 to European governments) persons: 5.010 to penal military service, over 22.000 Polish exiles had gone on over Ural mount but only 6.515 - 10.000 throughout Tobolsk into Middle and East Siberia since May 1863 by 01 April 1866; throughout Krasnoyarsk proceeded on into the East Siberia only about 6.000 persons; in the West Siberia at that time 10.898 Poles settled themselves by July 1867; a Siberian archives demonstrated over 21.000 settlers i.e. life hard labour, military service under arrest and regular exiles, and together with a members of families - nearly 30.000, according to Polish governor of Tobolsk, A. I. Despot - Zenowicz = Zenovich; according to Semen Kowal from Irkutsk of 1966: 22.000 Poles - settlers in Siberia 1863 / 1869, among others 524 exiles in 1863 and 10.649 in 1864),
others in European Russia. It had gone on 35 battles against Russians in White Russia during the January Insurrection, and otherwise 237 battles in Lithuania A.D. 1863 - 1864. In the area of former Kingdom of Poland and ex-Grand duchy of Lithuania on the whole about 400 persons were punished to death (e.g. Konstanty Kalinowski 1838 - 1864, had organized a plot in the Hrodnaa region 1861 and a conspiracy in Vilna 1862, leader of uprising in Belarus and Lithuania 1863, shot in 1864; Alexander Waszkowski 1841 - 1865, leader of the January Insurrrection, arrested in December 1864, had died 1865) and also 4000 to life hard labour in Siberia (Bronislaw Szwarce 1834 - 1904, leader of conspiracy, arrested in December of 1862 and gaoled in Shlisselburg, next exiled into Siberia till 1891), 700 (or 5.010 according to other source) to penal military service; there were confiscated 1800 noble estates only in White Russia and Lithuania; Polish language expeled from offices in Belarus in 1863. It were compulsive displaced about 250.000 in the Congress Poland, Lithuania and White Russia. About 30.000 persons in all died in the area of former Poland and Grand duchy of Lithuania during the January Insurrection. Besides about 10.000 emigrated to West.
The exiles set off an incompetent Baikal rebellion near by Irkutsk in 1866.
At first D. Bociarski, Wieliczko, Wojszwillo and Czerniewski made up a plot in Tobolsk in May 1863, and W. Lewandowski, G. Waszkiewicz, G. Samborski, B. Dybowski, Pawel Landowski, Antoni Grabowski, Z. Minejko, W. Hryncewicz - Hryniewicz, I. Jamont, I. Gajbulin and L. Zychlinski (Shychlinski) attached in 1864. M. Shaba (Zaba), K. Sosulicz, Mieduniecki, Dubowik and clerk Karpinski acted in Tobolsk, Kurghan, Ishym, Tiumen, Irkutsk and Narym. Halicki, Dmuchowski, Downar, Orlowski, Tombowski and Haraburda in Jalutorowsk; they were in touch with Mokrzycki from Vilna, Rodziewicz in Riazan and W. Gromadzki in Omsk. The organization moved to Tomsk and Z. Minejko - Strumillo, A. Bonasewicz, Arcimowicz, Waszkiewicz and Zarembski here acted; there were 6.000 exiles in 1865 and 3.000 settlers in the Tomsk government. Besides they moved to Omsk at the beginning of 1865 and to Irkutsk (Rutkowski and priest Pukien). The Baikal Organization in Irkutsk created in July 1865: E. Andreoli, J. Dworzaczek, madam Bninski; in Nerchinsk mine: Mejsztowicz and Studzinski ("many worked as clerks for the Nerchinsk administration, for example; there is a roster of the exactly 100 Poles assigned to the Irkutsk Saltworks in August 1864 which shows that half were working as common laborers, while the other half were employed as foremen, cooks and carpenters", according to Andrew Gentes); in Czeremcha: Janusz Tur, Ignacy Wieczernicki and Ignacy Warnachowski; in Krasnoyarsk and Rybinsk since September 1865 acted: Szlenkier, Landowski, Ratynski, Mikolaj Serno - Solowiewicz; besides P. Landowski, doctor Zaleski, M. Serno - Solowiewicz (after), Karol Nowakowski, K. Arcimowicz, N. Celinski and A. Glowacki stayed in Kansk - 1.400 Poles were here. At the same time Z. Minejko, G. Waszkiewicz and A. Okinczyc escaped from Tomsk. W. Lewandowski (next under arrest) was appointed the chief of the Baikal organization with his staff: Serno - Solowiewicz (or Solovjevich, died 14 February 1866), P. Landowski (next under arrest), Sielski, I. Sulinski (Russian spy), J. Szlenkier (under arrest in January 1866) and K. Michalowski - Malicki (weak in conspiracy in Irkutsk).
They played a large part in conspiracy in Irkutsk in 1866: K. Michalowski - Malicki, Kostrzewski, Z. Odrzywolski, G. Szaramowicz, Dzierzanowski, W. Pankowski, N. Celinski, K. Arcimowicz, I. Reinar, L. Eljaszewicz, E. Wronski, K. Nowakowski and J. Dworzakowski (Dworzaczek, I think). At the time 2.367 Polish exiles stayed in Irkutsk, among others 2.040 on life hard labour at the end of 1865. A lot of life exiles arrived at the beginning of 1866 (3.000 in all in April 1866). A branches of the Baikal plots: 1. the Akatujsk mine: M. Rytter, W. Tworowski, M. Czechowicz, M. Cwiklinski in 1865; 2. the Nerchinsk = Nertschinsk mine and near by Tschita = Chita: F. Sokolowski, E. Ostrowski, K. Lichtanski, M. Ososko, M. Szlezenger; 3. the Alexandrovsk factory: J. Ohryzko, Dworzaczek, S. Pszybylko (Przybylko ?) and K. Michalowski; 4. Usolsk factory and Ust - Kut plant: Kazimierz Arcimowicz (next in Irkutsk), G. Szaramowicz; 5. Listwjeniczna village by the Lake Baikal (L. Eljaszewicz) and Kultuk village near by Baikal (Arcimowicz with pseud. Kwiatkowski and also Zarembski). The Tsar had made the Amnesty Act on April 16th, 1866 but however the Baikal Insurrection had broken out on June 24th, 1866/July 07th, 1866 in Kultuk village near by the Lake Baikal; commanded: Gustaw Szaramowicz chief in Murino and Mishicha (besides N. Celinski, J. Reinar, Eljaszewicz, Wronski, Kotkowski i.e. W. Kostkowski, Dzierzanowski, Moszynski, Zaleski and Kostrzewski) villages and Arcimowicz in Kultuk, 721 exiles in all.
The uprising had fallen down c. August 07th, 1866/August 20th, 1866 after 44 days; it were convicted 680 exiles, and G. Szaramowicz, N. Celinski, W. Kostkowski (Kotkowski ?) and J. Rajnert (i.e. Reinar) were shot down in Irkutsk on November 14th, 1866. It was last in the long succession of Polish noble insurrections in the Age of Enlightenment and the epoch of romanticism and it ended up with defeat and disaster like of previous rebellions, i.e. in 1768/72, 1794, 1830/31, 1846, 1848, 1863/65, without victorious uprising of 1806 in the Poznan province. Successive insurrection of 1918 also in the Poznan region ended in full victory. A second amnesty in 1868 allowed the majority of insurgents to return home or at least transfer from Siberia to locations in European Russia. When in 1881 Alexander III announced a third amnesty, Western Siberia had a population of only 1.100 insurgents, while only a couple dozen were still living in Eastern Siberia (see also Andrew Gentes).
We stayed in
St Petersburg
- "Duflon, Konstantynowicz & Co."
abbreviated as DEKA.
The joint stock company from St Petersburg was co-property of the Mscislau branch.
|
1904
|
The beginning of a Duflon Company in Switzerland in 1904, and within a few months in Russia. The "Credit Lyonnais" Bank has got records, assessments and accounts for the Swiss country with reference number DEEF 30136 relating to "Duflon, Konstantinovich & Company", that is "Company of the Electromechanical Factories of Constructions" called DEKA of 1904 - 1916; researched in 1921. |
| 1905 |
A Swiss share (1904) of DEKA Joint Stock Society with brand name "Duflon" in St Petersburg manufactured electric accessory for naval fleet of Russian army, but also for other defensive enterprises (see about general Jan Jacyna who served in a "Main technical committee" of Navy Ministry in St Petersburg since 1891). The Russian - Japanese war in 1904 - 05 and the First world war were with the best years, according to http://konkretno.ru/ and shareholders had taken up the advantage of this prosperity. Total employees rose over 3 times only in "Duflon" proper in heyday 1914 - 1916, and the production - 6 times. The factory manufactured radio sets and broadcasting stations (see about the Boncz Brujewicz family), engines for automobiles (see about the Andrzejak family) and for planes. The "Duflon" had opened a branch in Aleksandrovsk / Zaporozhye that later on manufactured the "Zaporozhets" cars in "Zaporozhskiy Avtomobilnyi Zavod" (Auto Works of Zaporozhye in Ukraine). |
|
1907
|
I can to accept 1907 as the beginning of the DEKA Joint Stock Society (Duflon, Konstantinovich & Company JSC). In this year a business started to operate. 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. |
|
1908
|
Bedrich Urban (born 1880, d. 1940?) signed on with the Konstantinovichs in this year 1908 and he worked for "Duflon & Konstantinovich" 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. |
|
1912
|
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; see also: http://www.aeragon.com/index.html). 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." See: "A Brief History of Flight, from Balloons (...)", T. A. Heppenheimer, ed. John Wiley & Sons, New York 2001, p. 136. 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. Early in 1912, under the presidency of the Grand Duke Alexander, the special school of the Volunteer Aerial Association (All Russian Aero Club) was finally formed at Sevastopol (Sebastopol) for the winter and in Gatchina for the summer (Grand Duke Alexander - Sandro was a key figure in the development of the Russian air force; in 1909 he was in France and next established above Club i.e. Association and set up the first military aviation school in Sebastopol in 1909 or 1910; the Duke, Vice-Admiral was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Military Air Fleet in 1915 and he bacame Inspector of Aviation; aide-de-camp to Nicholas II, an old friend of the Tsar and married to his sister Xenia). 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 Tashkend 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 according to Bill Gunston, ed. 2001, p. 116. In Navy Aviation: July, 1912 - Lieut. ANDREADI, did a flight from Sevastopol to Petersburg. |
|
1914 |
We manufactured here an electrical accessory and magnetos for aeroengines (aero engines) in the beginning of the First world war. I will take pains to collect information on all. Georges A. de BOTHEZAT - chief of aerial division in the DEKA Company in St Petersburg since 1914 until 1917. |
|
1915 |
DEKA JSC in December 1915 bought buildings and equipment in order to changeover of activity. |
|
1916 |
DEKA built up the military manufactory of aeroengines in a town Aleksandrovsk (i.e. in Zaporozh'e or Zaporizhzhya = Zaporozhye) in 1916. The Stavka (Supreme High Command of the Russian Military) and Russian military technology intelligence was 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, Konstantinovich 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 October 1917 (with aeroengine "Renault" and with a gyroscope - wheel which, when spinning fast, keeps steady the object in which it is fixed (T. A. Heppenheimer, s. 142 - 143) - 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 aeroengines in Zaporozhye = Zaporizhzhya under the general chief N. R. Brilling; 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 in 1917; the DEKA Company learned production of 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); the Major General Pniewski said in parliament about the DEKA company in November 1916: "This is the first aeroengine as a whole from 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 28 September 1916. So incompetent paralleled researches into the Mercedes engines conducted in Germany Anthony Fokker 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
area covered by brick-made production buildings of this factory
exceeded any of then available engine works in the tsarist Russia and 
it
was equipped as one of the best;
the Mercedes-type 100 hp single-row
water-cooled six-cylinder engine assembled here in September
1916 and designated Deka
M-100 became the firstling of the
company; the date of its manufacture was accepted as the
birthday of the Company (i.e.
in Zaporozh'e = Aleksandrovsk or Zaporozhye
/ Zaporizhzhya);
later on the engine power has been increased to 129 hp and then to 168
hp due to efforts of Deka experts
who managed to do this" (quotation

Boguslayev, Chairman of Board and Director General Motor Sich
JSC of 2001; this quotation without the Author's written permission,

the engine was installed to power several modifications of
four-engine "Ilya Muromets" aircraft (with
the Argus engine too; for the first time attempted to produce
"Benz" and "Argus" engines in the
Russian Baltic Railroad Car Works that
evacuated from
Riga to
Petersburg in 1915 but 10 months waited for steel in 1915/16; more than
70 military versions of the "Ilia Mourometz" were built for use as
bombers within 1913 - 1917; in all, 75 bombers were
delivered, and roughly half of them saw combat; twenty similar
airplanes had been produced in 1916 and five built in September 1916
were not noticed by military command - were probably with
engines of experimental line of 5 pieces Deka M-100; 15 March 1916 the

Renault aircraft engines".
Photo "Ilya Muromets" in flight in 1914
according to: "Aviation Year by Year", ed London 2001 by Bill Gunston,
p. 114. According to
Gunston: "The Ilya Muromets had a modern
fuselage, and its four engines were mounted tractor - style along the
leading edge and not in push/pull pairs as on the 'Grand'. The RBVZ
works built 80, with six different
makes of engine."

1917 Comment on Zaporozhye / Zaporizhzhya: Announcement on autonomy of Ukraine in April 1917 and the first Declaration of independence by Ukraine on 20 November 1917 involved Zaporozhye but shortly assumption of power by the Soviets in January 1918. "The Peace of Bread" concluded by Germany, Austria - Hungary and Turkey with the Ukraine: acceptance of the Ukr. state on 09 February 1918, and Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on 03 Mar. 1918 recognized the Ukraine as ind. state and thus the Austria - Hungarys Army occupied Zaporozhye since April by November 1918, next Skoropadsky and the Ukrainian Directorate since November 1918 by March 1919, general Denikin since May 1919 by December 1919; general Vrangel by October 1920 and conquered by the Red Army then. |
Comment on Gheorghe Botezat: Gheorghe Botezat either doctor George, Geogrij, Georges A. de Bothezat or Georg A. Botezat, Botezatu, was born in Iasi i.e. Jassy in Romania 1883 or 1882 - died in Dayton, Ohio in USA 1940 (see also http://www.hill.af.mil/museum ). Botezat learnt in Sereth, next in Sorbona and was a doctor in field of aviation; a Russian aeronautical engineer and mathematician; professor of the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute in the beginning of the First world war; worked for DEKA in Petrograd 1914 - 1917 and next he stayed in Iasi at the turn of 1918; wrote (1918) letter and report "General Theory of the Screw" (air-screw i.e. propeller of an aircraft); at a later date he wrote off to Subcommittee on Buildings, Laboratories and Equipments in Feb. 1919 and ( by http://avia.russian.ee/vertigo/bothezat-r.html ) the US Army Air Corps awarded a contract in January 1921 to Dr. George(s) de Bothezat and Ivan Jerome (i.e. Eremeeff, Jeromiejew or Jerome - a millionaire inventor from Long Island and owner of the Massapequa Farmers Market, the 59-year old Jerome was arrested in 1955, freed on $100,000 bond, he jumped bail and disappeared; there were reports he had been seen everywhere from Russia to South America, but he was never found; by http://www.newsday.com/extras/lihistory) to develop a vertical flight machine; this helicopter, designated the Engineering Division H-1 and designed by (Georges) George De Bothezat and Ivan (Eremeeff) Jerome, made its first public flight on December 18, 1922; George de Bothezat's Army Helicopter Number 1, nicknamed "The Flying Octopus", possessed 1 x the 180 hp Le Rhone radial engine (Rhone 134 kW). |
Comment on airplanes factories:
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 his 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).

His last years were spent in pain as a result of a poison needle having been jabbed into him at the opera in Paris at almost the same time as Sidney Reilly disappeared in the Soviet Union (in the 1920s). (...) Before the Revolution, he had fallen in love with one of the Tsar's daughters (...). Near to Krivoshein - the man who brought Yaroshinsky into the Allied banking scheme. (...) Yaroshinsky was the financial benefactor to the Romanov family during the last days of their captivity in Tobolsk and Ekaterinburg in 1918. The man was involved with Henry Armitstead and Jonas Lied, who had been paid through the British Secret Service for activities in Northern Russia (1918)."]), social workers after the Bolshevik revolution, and also among the Polish active politicians in Russian parliament since 1905/06; he was near to the imperial Russian court; general Jan Jacyna evaluated figure of Wladymir Boncz Brujewicz wholly negative when paid a call on Lenin at the end of January 1918;

"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 / maybe Sredinski, captain Jozef Baszko died in Riga 1946 - son of Stanislaw from the Vicebsk government, captain Robert Nizewski b. 02.05.1885, Catholic and captain Kazimierz Zagorski were the 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 aeroengines 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 UNIKOWSKI; 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 - aassembled in Russia after 1931 (according to professor Andrzej Peplonski of 1996).
