Timofey Florinskiy in 1898
Timofiej Fłorinski (1854–1918) was a Russian historian, specializing in the Medieval history of South Slavs. He was a member of the Kiev Club of Russian Nationalists and authored a number of publications against Ukrainian nationalist movement. In 1918, he was executed by the Bolsheviks.
Fłorinski was murdered by Rosa Schwartz, a member of the Communist Revolutionary Tribunal for examination. Schwartz, who was inebriated during the interrogation, became annoyed with a response by Fłorinski and promptly drew a pistol and fired on him, killing him instantly.[1]
