    It is indeed Molotov

    https://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/06/w...ty-member.html
    ''Very well, Comrade Trotsky,'' Mr. Molotov is said to have replied, ''we cannot all be geniuses, but we shall see who lasts the longest.''

    Somebody from the House of Wettin Fredrick I? Because that gets us to the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line.

    No, not Fredrick I of Wettin.

    Although his Name is Fredrick too, but not from the house of Wettin.

    He was the founder of a city with a very progressive constitution of tolerance for religious minorities. Although his house was only small, some of its members became colonels and generals in the prussian and austrian army. And two grandgrandgrandchildren became royals in East Europe.
