Source-derived summary

Mikhail Konstantinovich Artemyev (November 1888 – March 27, 1928) was a participant in the Russian Civil War. He was also the leader of several uprisings against Soviet power in the Eastern Siberia region.

Early life

He was born in November 1888 in a poor peasant family. He graduated from the 4th grade of the Yakut Real School. First, he worked as a clerk in his native nasleg, then as a clerk in the 1st Amginsky district council, as a warden in the Bethunskoy Nasleg, a foreman in the Uranai and Bethune tribal administrations, and a teacher in the Amga settlement.

Military career

An active participant in the Russian Civil War, Artemyev was initially on the side of the Bolsheviks. On March 17, 1920, the Yakut Revolutionary Headquarters of the Red Army appointed him as the Commissioner of the parish. On March 15, 1920, he was re-appointed as the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee. At the same time, he continued teaching at various educational institutions in Yakutia. He became gradually disappointed in the Soviet regime.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Mikhail Artemyev” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mikhail, Artemyev and Russian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4070236. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1888, 1928 and 1920.

Critical limits

Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
