Alexander Sergeyevich Griboyedov (1795 - 1829), was a Russian diplomat. He was Russia's ambassador to Qajar Persia, where he and all the embassy staff were massacred by an angry mob as a result of the rampant anti-Russian sentiment that existed through Russia's imposing of the Treaty of Gulistan (1813)
