Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Bogdanovich was born on 26 September 1878 in Dzisna (present-day Belarus), then part of the Vilnius Governorate of the Russian Empire.

The future senator also took part in elections to the State Duma, supporting the candidacy of historian Alexey Sapunov.

Additionally, Bogdanovich was the treasurer and head of the pilgrimage department of the Vilnius Holy Spirit Brotherhood, editing one of its bulletins.

[3] Thanks to his efforts, a room was allocated for the newly established Vilnius Belarusian Gymnasium, where he briefly taught biblical law and mathematics.

[2] Bogdanovich was actively engaged in Orthodox matters, constantly responding to reports of anti-Orthodox politics in Poland.

[4][5] Some sources also contain information that at the end of the 1920s, Bogdanovich intended to organize a second parish in the village of Sutkavo in the Smorgon region, which would not be subject to the Warsaw metropolis, but this project was never implemented.

Described as a great musician, Bogdanovich put to music several poems by Belarusian poets such as Yanka Kupala and Natallia Arsiennieva.

[6] After failing to secure a seat for the senate, with a low salary, Bogdanovich became a literature teacher at a Russian gymnasium in Vilnius,[3] where he would work until 1939.

Bogdanovich was remembered not only as an excellent teacher, but also as an organizer of a theater group, decorator and costume designer, and director of numerous performances and concerts based on the works of Russian classics.

[2] During the start of the Second World War on 1 September 1939, Bogdanovich and other Belarusian and Ukrainian public figures were arrested by Polish authorities.
