Timofey Florinsky
Timofey Dmitrievich Florinsky (Russian: Тимофей Дмитриевич Флоринский), also Timofiej Fłorinski or Timofej Fllorinskij (28 October 1854 – 2 May 1919) was a Russian historian, specializing in the medieval history of South Slavs. He was a graduate of Saint Petersburg State University and was a supporter of Pan-Slavism. He was married and had three sons, including historian Mikhail Florinsky, and a daughter. One of his other sons was killed in a war, and the remaining son was exiled. He was executed in Kiev in 1919.[1][2] Florinsky was ultimately interred in Askold's Grave, next to his eldest son, Sergei Timofeevich, who had died at the front in 1916.
His grandson, Igor Savitsky, was a painter.[3]
