The death of the manager, or the last stand of Nikolay Remezov
The article deals with the last months of Nikolay Remezov, wellknown in the Russian Far East as a writer, journalist and public figure. He inscribed his name in the history of Vladivostok having taken an uncompromising position during the revolutionary events of 1905-1906. His newspaper was closed, and he himself served a prison sentence for it. However, his subsequent life is covered rather sparingly in the literature. It is known that he worked as a manager of city pawnshop for several years and died of heart disease. The majority of researchers even indicate incorrectly the year and date of his death (1915, instead of the correct 1914). The article based on the archival documents of the Vladivostok City Council, newspaper chronicles and obituaries tells the story of Remezov’s last conflict with the city council because of the financial issue. The causes of the conflict were the poor work of the revision committee and the complex nature of Remezov, who had many enemies. It is shown that the financial claims and personal insults did not allow Remezov to get a leave for treatment and led to his death on November, 11 (24), 1914.
