Историческая справка

At the age of 21 Nikolay Shmit inherited the best furniture factory of Russia (among other things, the factory produced the throne of Tsar Nicholas II). Shmit was born to a rich family of Old Believers and was a relative of Savva Morozov. As a social group with violated rights, the Old Believers had reasons to dislike the tsarist regime. Many of them supported Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party and other opposition forces. Obviously those reasons defined Shmit’s political preferences, and he showed himself as a dedicated socialist. In the autumn of 1905 Shmit turned the factory into a real epicentre of revolutionary struggle by giving to workers 20,000 rubles for procuring weapons. Soon Shmit’s fully armed squads took an active part in the December riot. However, the riot was suppressed, and Shmit was imprisoned. In 1907 he was found dead — he either had committed suicide because of despair, or had been murdered. The Bolsheviks blamed gendarmes for his death, but now and then modern historians point at Bolsheviks themselves, who contracted marriages of convenience with Shmit’s sisters and got the young factory owner’s huge inheritance.
