Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich

Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich (1858—1926) was a mysterious Russian figure who moved to the United States following the Bolshevik Revolution. He claimed to be a Tsarist general and white Russian loyalist. He was involved in Pan-Slavism and White Russian activism, including various chivalric orders and cultural organisations, amongst the diaspora community in America. Spiridovich is perhaps best known for authoring a book positing various conspiracy theories entitled "Secret World Government or The Hidden Hand".
==Biography==
