  • Juhan Leinberg (September 26, 1812 - August 26, 1885), also known as prophet Maltsvet, was a founder of a religious sect named after him (the Maltsvetians) in Estonia. Juhan Leinberg was born in Järvamaa, Norra parish. In his youth he was a farmer, miller, barkeeper and salesperson in Tallinn. In 1854 he started holding preachings in Northern Estonia and called on people to give up collecting wealth. A short imprisonment in 1858 increased his popularity, the number of his followers reached two hundred to three hundred families. In 1860 Leinberg started to promote moving to the Crimea, going there himself in February 1861. The most fanatic of the Maltsvetians waited in May and June 1861 at Lasnamäe for the coming of the "White ship" that was to take them to the promised land. The followers of Maltsvet also had an important part in the peasant rebels in Albu and Ahula in November 1861. By the 1860s, Maltsvet's influence had worn off. After his return to Estonia in 1865 he started in business again. Leinberg died in Järvamaa, Pruuna parish. The movement of the Maltsvetians is treated by Eduard Vilde (1865-1933) in the novel Prophet Maltsvet. Published in 1908, this was the third book of a trilogy that established Vilde as a writer. Like the others, it mixed fact and fiction, but was based on letters and notes of interviews with Crimean Estonians.
