Yuri Larin
Yuri Aleksandrovich Larin (Russian: Ю́рий Ла́рин; *1882 – †1932), born in Simferopol as Mikhail Aleksandrovich Lurie, was a Soviet economist and politician, one of the ideologists of Jewish autonomy in Crimea.[clarification needed]
He was head of OZET, the Society for Settling Toiling Jews on the Land. His father, Shneur Zalman Lurie, was an engineer, Hebrew author and Zionist.[1] His adopted daughter was Anna Larina. Menshevik leader Lydia Dan acted as his godmother in the “incongruous baptism … undertaken in a tsarist prison so that [he] could have an Orthodox marriage entitling him to take his bride into exile”.[2]
In his name there existed a Jewish National Raion in Crimea in 1930s, Larindorf Raion (today Pervomaiske Raion).[clarification needed]
