Biographical information:
Born November 15, 1890 and died April 15, 1974. Has a sister Sofia.
An Abram Cherlin who appears to be Ilya's father was selling groceries in 1902 the Novgorod district, in a locality called "the Selische barracks" of the Vysokovsk volost'. (This military terminology is archaic, and in fact was rather dated even in 1902.)
Jakov apparently had at least two other sons, Jakov and Girsha, in addition to Ilya, assuming that the various references to Abram Cherlin and Abram Chirlin uncovered by Blitz refer to the same individual (this is likely, since in all cases the man bearing that name is a grocer in the Novgorod district). Other documents (below) indicate that Ilya had three brothers, but the names are not given.
Born in Novgorod. In his youth Ilya lived in Polotsk, near Minsk. He was in the grocery business.
In the year 1907, at the age of 16, Ilya was sentenced to two years in prison for partipation in revolutionary movements.
After the Revolution he worked in the State Trade Administration.
The name occurs both as Cherlin and as Tserlin in official documents.
Reference: State Archives of the Russian Federation. Fond 102, 7th Chancellery Office, File 7800, pages 1-10 and file 2, part 36.
Born November 15, 1890 in the Seishchi barracks, district and province of Novgorod. Father Abram and mother Agrippina owned a grocery shop in the Selishchi barracks and plots of wood in the Novgorod district.Three brothers, names not given. Two were timber merchants and the third was a soldier of the 86th infantry, Vilmanstronski regiment, and served in the city of Staraia Russia.
Educated in a parish school. Then worked as a clerk in a butcher shop of the merchant Levin. Salary 240 rubles per year.
Arrested Augus 5, 1906 and imprisoned in the Novgorod prison by order of the commander of the 37th artillery brigade, for convincing the soldiers who came to the shop to strike. "Let's strike. If you strike, I will strike too and I will close the shop."
He was imprisoned for several days and posted pail of 300 rubles. On August 21 1906 he was released on bail. On May 10, 1908 he was condemned on the basis of Articles 131, 53, 55 of the Code of Criminal Law and imprisoned for two months. This is a light punishment, presumably due to his age (16).
Note: his place of birth is given in the record made at the time of his trial in 1907, which was found by Blitz. They also uncovered documents showing that his father and one brother worked as a grocer in the Novgorod district for an extended period.
