Biographical Register: T
TOKAREV, Alexander Andreyevich (d.1821)
Russian soldier.
Tiflis Musketeer Regiment, promoted to the rank of Major and awarded the Order of St. George (Class 4) on May 31, 1807 for his participation in the military action against the Persian troops in June 1806. The appointment was probably not reported by 30th June due to the vast distance between St. Petersburg and Baku. On retirement as Lieutenant-Colonel in 1816, Tokarev served in the capacity of a judge of the multi-judge collegium and secretary to the Director of St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres (1817), and Procurator of Orel gubernia (province) located on the Middle-Russian heights of the European part of Russia, on the Oka river. Together with A. S. Pushkin (1799-1837), Russia's greatest poet, A. A. Tokarev, who was an amateur-poet, had joined the Green Lamp Association, which, though founded in 1818 for discussion of literature and history, became a clandestine branch of a secret society, the Union of Welfare. Its members were to take part in the Decembrist rising of 1825, the unsuccessful culmination of a Russian revolutionary movement in its earliest stage.
