Biography
Rafail Kartsev was born in 1861 in the village of Burovlyanka, Voronezh province (now in the Ramonsky district of the Voronezh region ) into a peasant family. Soon after the birth of Rafael, his father, Mitrofan Kartsev, moved to Voronezh and began to trade, and Rafail entered a real school (which he did not graduate from). Subsequently, Rafail Kartsev continued his father's business and became a merchant of the second guild and the owner of several houses (in 1908, he donated two of his houses to the church parish for the establishment of an almshouse ). Among other things, he served as a clerk in the Treasury Chamber as a civil servant.
According to indirect data, researchers of his biography believe that Kartsev was close to the Black-Hundred circle of the Voronezh intelligentsia (in 1903, this circle issued a leaflet on behalf of the "Voronezh Committee against Socialism"). In 1905, Kartsev was elected a vowel to the City Duma . During the revolutionary years, he actively participated in patriotic, monarchical rallies and actions, so on October 21, he went to a rally in support of the Manifesto on October 17 . October 15, 1906 was elected chairman of the opening department of the Union of Russian People , which was officially opened on October 22 . It included more than 230 members, mainly from workers , burghers and peasants .
Rafail Kartsev was engaged in activities for the development of the Union in the Voronezh province, facilitated the opening of a large number of local departments of the NRC, and in 1908 there were more than 860 members of the organization in the province. He participated in congresses of monarchists - the Volga-Kama Patriotic Congress in 1908, in the Fifth All-Russian Congress of the NRC in late 1911 (at this Congress Kartsev supported A.I. Dubrovin in the emerging split of the NRC, and became a founding member of the All-Russian Dubrovin Union of the Russian Union people ), in a monarchist meeting in 1915 . In 1912, its Voronezh department was re-registered as the Mitrofano-Georgievsky department of the All-Russian Dubrovin Union of the Russian people. With the outbreak of World War I , the organization's activity began to decline, the number of members of the Voronezh department was reduced to 46 people.
In the spring of 1917, Kartsev was twice arrested on suspicion of illegal possession of weapons. After the October Revolution, he did not intervene in politics, worked as a small employee in Soviet institutions, and in 1923 retired from disability. In 1929 he was arrested in the case of the “ Buyers ”, supporters of the Voronezh Bishop Alexy (Buy) , one of the leaders of the “Josephite” movement . In 1930, the OGPU college sentenced him to imprisonment for a term of five years, with the camp replaced by a link to the Northern Territory , and was placed at the disposal of the Vologda Plenipotentiary Representation of the OGPU. There is no information about Rafail Kartsov after 1932 .
