St. Petersburg, 1897. Anatoly Vaneyev was born in the family of an official. He went to the Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology. Being a student he participated, under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, in the creation of the St. Petersburg League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class and its activities. He supervised the technical preparation of the publication of the newspaper Rabocheye Delo. He also took part in the hectography of Lenin's 1894 work What the "Friends of the People" Are and How They Fight the Social-Democrats.

In December 1895 he was arrested and, in 1897, banished to Eastern Siberia. In exile, he married Dominika Trukhovskaya. In the late summer of 1899 he signed A Protest by Russian Social-Democrats, directed against the so-called "economists".

He died shortly after, in September, from tuberculosis, which he contracted during solitary confinement in prison, prior to his banishment.

The son of Anatoly and Dominika was born three weeks after his death and was named Anatoly, like his father.
