Andrey Dikiy

Andrey Ivanovich Dikiy (; real surname Zankevich;  September 3, 1893 — April 9, 1977) was a Russian writer, emigre politician and journalist, and a member of the Vlasov movement, known for his antisemitism and anti-Ukrainian sentiment. Dikiy has been described by Christian essayist Dmitry Talantsev as one of the main theorists of Judophobia.

Biography 
Zankevich was born into a noble family, at the family estate in the village of Gaivoron, Chernigov Obl. 30 km south of Konotop (now in Ukraine). His father was an owner of a large sugar factory and sugar beet plantation. His mother's maiden name was Kandiba. Andrey had three brothers and one sister.

He emigrated to Yugoslavia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. There he was active in the anti-Soviet community, and was a member of the executive committee of National Alliance of Russian Solidarists. He moved to the United States after World War II and was a prolific publisher of articles in the Russophone press characterized as pseudo-scientific, antisemitic and anti-Ukrainian. His writings were extensively used by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his tract Two Hundred Years Together.

Dikiy spent his summers living in Richmond, Maine.

He died on April 4, 1977, in New York and is buried at the Russian Orthodox cemetery at the Novo-Diveevo Cemetery in Nanuet, New York.
