Aha, born in the area of the Warsaw Pact but not in present-day Germany.

Russian?
Yes.

(I know we've had a lot of dead Russian men lately but I've had this one in my head for a while.)

1,2,3,9,10,11,13. Real male dead white Russian human man born in a location that would someday be part of a Warsaw Pact nation, but not in present-day Germany or in the Aleutian Islands.
4,5,7. Born during 1800-1899.
6. Had some politics-related endeavors, but more famous for other things.
8. First language not English.
12. Not a writer of fiction, poetry, or plays.

Free hint: More famous than Donald Knuth, according to the QM.

You're getting close.
