About Ivan Zalkind
- Ivan Abramovich Zalkind (Russian: ???? ????????? ???????; 1 May 1885 in Saint Petersburg, Russia – 27 November 1928 in Leningrad, Soviet Union), also known as Ivan Artamonov (Russian: ???? ?????????), was a Soviet diplomat.
- Originally a biologist who got his doctorate from the Sorbonne in Paris, Zalkind took part in the October Revolution on the side of Leon Trotsky.
- When Trotsky 1917 became People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs (de facto: Soviet foreign minister), he made Zalkind his first deputy (de facto: Permanent Under Secretary of State or Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs).
- When Trotsky resigned as foreign minister (because of the peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk), Zalkind was sent as plenipotentiary and consul to Switzerland (Zürich, 1918), Turkey (Istanbul, 1922), Latvia (Liepaja, 1923) and Italy (Genoa, 1924, and Milan, 1925).
- Back in the Soviet Union, after Trotsky's downfall he was expelled from the Communist party and shot himself.
