Constantin Mimi (born 10 March 1868 – died 17 April 1935) was a noble-born politician and viticulturist from the Bessarabian region.
Biography
He completed his studies at Odessa State University and later at SupAgro in Montpellier.
In the wake of the February Revolution of 1917, the governor of the Bessarabia Governorate delegated his authority to Mimi, who was then serving as President of the Gubernial Zemstvo. Mimi was appointed Commissar of the Provisional Government in Bessarabia, with Vladimir Criste acting as his deputy. This change mirrored a broader pattern within the Russian Empire where officials loyal to the Tsar transferred power to Zemstvo representatives.
On , acting in his capacity as Commissar for the Russian Provisional Government, Mimi assembled delegates to resist the territorial claims made by the Ukrainian Central Rada over Bessarabia.
In October 1917, following a decision by the Peasants Congress, Mimi was succeeded by Ion Inculeţ. This transition was facilitated by Alexander Kerenski, who officially appointed Inculeţ after the Congress's resolution.
Subsequent to the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, Mimi moved to Bucharest, where he took on the role of director at the National Bank of Romania.
