Very good Jon;
This "Vassily" was very possibly the Son of Ivan Kire'vich HALOPOV (1859–1911) & Elaina Ivanovna Grigorii AGALSOFF (1845-1932)
Which is very interesting because..,
"seeking a permanent solution to the question of compulsory military service, efforts which in the winter of 1900 culminated in a decision to petition the Tsar's government for a release from the obligation of military service. Four elders were selected to personally present the petition in St. Petersburg. Philip M. Shubin and Ivan G. Samarin were selected from the region of Kars and Simon T. Shubin and Ivan K. Holopoff were chosen to represent the region of Erevan." (from the book:, 'Molokans In America' by John K. Berokoff)
Also from the book is: “Vassily Ivanovich Holopoff and three Agalsoffs performed early exploratory missions in Canada & California for the Molokans living in Armenia/Turkey in 1900.” I have it that Vassily was also married to an AGALSOFF.
