Biography

He became famous with the punk band Propeller, founded in 1978.

In 2015 Volkonski was Free Party's candidate in the Tartu constituency for Estonian parliamentary election.[1] He received 916 votes, which was not enough for a seat in the parliament.[2]

Peeter Volkonski is a son of harpsichordist and composer Prince Andrei Volkonsky, and a great-great-great-grandson of Prince Pyotr Mikhailovich Volkonsky,[3][4][5] being thus a descendant of a princely Rurikid family.
