Võrgu V. (Vassili Võrk, 1898-1977)

Colonel of the 8th Estonian Tallinn Rifle Corps (or Lieutenant Colonel of the 300th Rifle Regiment), commandant of Tallinn for three days in September 1944, the story of him converting three Red Army gentlemen attempting to acquire high-discount vodka from the Rosen (now Liviko) distillery into definitive teetotalers may well be apocryphal. Soviet Era renaming (1979-1995) of Arbu.
