Sergei Iosifovich Trishatny was born on 19 March [O.S. 7] 1865.[2] Graduated the law faculty of the Petersburg University. Biographers point at his contacts with Pyotr Rachkovsky — the famous chief of Okhrana, the secret service of the Russian Empire, an antisemit by devotion. In November 1902 Rachkovsky returned from Paris (supposedly bringing the notoriously known "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" with himself) to Petersburg.[3]
When the Russian revolution of 1905 began, Sergei Trishatny was a barrister. In October 1905 together with his younger brother, Alexander Trishatny took part in the organization of the Union of the Russian People (URP) under the leadership of Alexander Dubrovin. When on 8 November [O.S. 26 October] 1905 the founding of the Union of the Russian People formally announced, Sergei Trishatny was appoined a Secretary, while his brother Alexander Trishatny became the deputy chairman of the Main Board (Russian: Главный Совет) of this union, headed by Dr.Dubrovin.[4]
Sergei Trishatny is named as the organizer of terroristic combat squads (Russian: боевые дружины) which shot and murdered political opponents of URP, from deputies of Duma to the left-wing functionaries. In 1907–1908 following growing internal conflicts and power struggle in the URP Trishatny withdrew from his active participation in the Union. From 1908 he worked as legal adviser to the Central Post Office in St. Petersburg.
After the October revolution of 1917, Trishatny did not emigrate and went to work for the Soviets. In December 1918 he got a job as an auditor of the Food committee of Nikolaevskaya railway. A year after, on December 20, 1919 he was detained by Cheka of Petrograd which was investigating the URP case at that time, as once a member of this union. In 3 weeks, on January 12, 1920 the investigator found no corpus delicti in Trishtatny's testimonies and released him from detainment.
Five days later, on January 17, 1920 Cheka of Petrograd decided to detain Trishatny "as an ex-member of URP" upon lifting of martial law which was then imposed in Petrograd. There Trishatny worked until April 1, 1920 when he escaped from the camp. On April 21, 1920 Cheka officially put Trishatny in the wanted list, however his traces has been lost.
