Diakoff, John A.

John A. Diakoff (Ivan Andreevich Diakov; 1881 or 1891-1969) was a Russian scientist, orientalist and traveller in Asia. He was born in Kishal, Tambov province, Russia. In 1931 he came to Harbin, Manchuria. There he established himself as a scientific associate of the Russian Orientalist Society, a group of Russian scientists (and, many believe, spies) based in Harbin, China. He was also an inspector of Russian schools and taught at the Nicholas School in Kharbin in 1945. He returned to Russia around 1950. Until his death in 1969, he served as a regional inspector in Morshansk. He is known for his impressive pictorial map of China published for academic purposes in Kharbin in 1931. He is also the author of several works on Sinology.
