David Hendrick Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, FRSC, KStJ ( /shɪməlpænjiːnək/; 1957–2022), [1] was a Canadian historian who was a professor of the history of Russia at Brock University. He also was a member of the Canadian Association of Slavists.
Schimmelpenninck van der Oye was born in the Netherlands in 1957. On his mother's side he was of Russian descent: his grandfather fled the country as part of the White Army under the command of Pyotr Wrangel in 1921. In 1967 David moved in Canada. As a child, he had a dream of one day becoming a diplomat, but subsequent military service as a Canadian Army reservist made him extremely skeptical of public service. [2]
In 1982 Schimmelpenninck van der Oye entered in the finance world. He worked in Midland Doherty Ltd, Toronto (1982–1985) and in Enskilda Securities, London (1988–1989) and at the same time received a higher education in Russian history in Yale University. From 1989 Schimmelpenninck van der Oye worked in Brock University. [2] In 1997 David graduated from this university with a PhD. degree with the thesis Ex Oriente Lux: Ideologies of Empire and Russia’s Far East, 1895–1904. [3] In 2015 he was elected in the Royal Society of Canada. [4]
In 2016, Schimmelpenninck van der Oye found himself at the centre of a sex scandal when his student, who wished to remain anonymous, complained to CBC News that two years ago he invited her and a male student to drink alcohol. Later, when he was alone with her, he made her a sexual proposal, but the girl immediately refused. David was later suspended from teaching, but returned to teaching in 2019. [5]
Schimmelpenninck van der Oye died at the age of 64 on 14 March 2022. [1]
