- Pyotr Zakharovich Bazhbeuk-Melikov, also Bachbeouk-Melikoff, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan or Bazhbeuk-Melikishvili (Armenian: Պետրոս Բաժբեուկ-Մելիքյան, Bedros Bažbeuk-Melikyan; Russian: Пётр Захарович Бажбеук-Меликов; Romanian: Petre Bajbeuc-Melikov, Bajbeug-Melicov, Bajbeuc-Melichian, or Basbeuc-Melikisvilli; February 27, 1872 – October 1944), was an ethnic Armenian politician and agronomist in Bessarabia. Educated in Tiflis Governorate and then in France, he had various administrative offices in the Russian Empire and the Russian Republic. He presented himself in the November 1917 election for the Russian Constituent Assembly as an affiliate of the Constitutional Democratic Party. Failing in this bid, Bazhbeuk was instead welcomed as an Armenian delegate by the Bessarabian assembly, or Sfatul Țării, just before the proclamation of a Moldavian Democratic Republic. Loyal toward the latter, he spoke out against Bolshevik infiltration, and asked for an intervention by the neighboring Kingdom of Romania. Though he welcomed the Romanian military expedition of early 1918, he found himself opposed to the subsequent union between Bessarabia and Romania, reverting to Russian monarchism. In 1919, Bazhbeuk joined the Odessa-based Committee for the Salvation of Bessarabia, and, through it, also the White movement. The Committee sent him on a mission to the General Command of the Armed Forces of South Russia in Rostov-on-Don, where he spoke about reintegrating Bessarabia with a future Russian state. Fleeing the region altogether during the later stages of the Russian Civil War, Bazhbeuk publicized the White émigré cause in the Kingdom of Bulgaria, but finally returned to Bessarabia and served Romania's monarchy. In the 1930s, he was the Mayor of Orhei, joining the National Peasants' Party. Again escaping Bessarabia following the Soviet occupation of 1940, he settled deeper in Romania, dying four years later in Ploiești. (en)
