Biography Early years Mikhail Mikhailovich Karpovich was born August 3, 1888, in Tbilisi, in the Russian Empire . He was of mixed Russian, Polish, and Georgian ancestry. He became active in the Socialist Revolutionary Party from 1904 to 1907; he was arrested and held briefly in December 1905, then arrested again and held for a month before being released without having been brought to trial.
