The Patriarch

The Patriarch, or Pavlo Medvedev, was the headman of the Medvedev family in a time preceding Nikola Medvedev's. His parents were Lev Medvedev and Valeriya Kudryavtsev-Medvedev, his sons were Roman Medvedev and Pavel Medvedev, and his daughters were Alyosha Medvedev-Gusarov and Tamara Medvedev-Mirskii. He was the husband of Olga Alexeyev.

History
He was born in Sochi, Russia, to two members of the relatively wealthy Medvedev family. His parents arrived in the city after being evicted from their estate in Samara, Russia. He met his wife, Olga Alexeyev by the riverfront, and all his children (Roman, Pavel, Alyosha, and Tamara) were born while they lived in the city. After his death, his children kept their Samara home and bought a new estate in Samara, and decided to move there. After ten years in the city, his children and grandchildren moved to Moscow. He was the first head of the Medvedev family after Alan Medvedev.

He is best known in Nikola's time for creating the Odessa Vacation Home (Ugly Whale Estate) in Odessa, Ukraine, instead of building a second estate in Sochi.
