According to Wikipedia, Walter Arthur Alexander Anderson was a Baltic German ethnologist and numismatist. Life Anderson was born from a Baltic German family in Minsk , but in 1894 moved to Kazan , where his father, Nikolai Anderson , had been appointed as professor for Finno-Ugric languages at the University of Kazan. Anderson's younger brother was the mathematician and economist Oskar Anderson , and his older brother was the astrophysicist Wilhelm Anderson . The turmoil created by the Russian Revolution prompted Anderson and his brother Wilhelm to leave Russia and to move to Tartu in Estonia. While living in Estonia in 1939, Anderson, like the majority of Baltic Germans living there, was resettled to Germany. In 1962 he died after having been involved in a traffic accident.
