Ethnicity[edit]

The article stated: "Some historians claim he had ethnic Estonian ancestry. The assumption is based on the fact that his father's name was Simon and there is no data about any Reval citizen named Simon Russow from that period. Therefore it is suggested his father was an ethnic Estonian cab driver Simon Rissa."

I'm not sure what to make of the cab driver statement; mistake in translation? Olessi 21:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
