Aleksei Gen died in the Russian Empire.
Aleksei Gan (1887 or 1893  1942) was a Russian anarchist avant-garde artist, art theorist and graphic designer. 
 The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II and the old regime was replaced by a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917 (March in the Gregorian calendar; the older Julian calendar was in use in Russia at the time).
