Excerpt: Konstantin Pats VR I/1 and III/1 (23 February 1874 18 January 1956) was a politician and the first President of Estonia. Pats' surname, which means a loaf of bread in Estonian, came from an ancestor who was a miller by profession. The religion of his forefathers was Lutheranism, as for most Estonians, but his father Jakob Pats, a housebuilder, converted to Orthodoxy and married a Russian, Olga Tumanova. In 1898, Pats graduated from the faculty of Law of Tartu University as Cand. jur. Later he received honorary doctorates from Tartu University, Tallinn Technical University and Andhra University, along with honorary membership of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. Pats served in the Russian 96th Infantry Regiment of Omsk in Pskov and was promoted an ensign. From 1901 he worked as an editor of the "Teataja" newspaper in Tallinn. In 1904 he was the leader of the Estonian-Russian bloc in municipal elections in Tallinn, but declined the post of mayor of Tallinn due to not being ethnic Russian and became instead deputy mayor. He translated into Estonian several works about self-government and beekeeping. He participated in the 1905 Revolution and was convicted in his absence, having fled to Switzerland and then to Finland. ...
