As a person fit for military service, he was mobilized at the beginning of the First World War to the Russian Navy of His Imperial Majesty . He served in the Baltic Fleet . He went on long trips several times, had awards of the Russian Empire (not preserved).

At the beginning of 1917, he returned to his native village of Yanivky, took an active part in the established authorities of the Central Council of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in Stavyn Volost .

According to the memoirs of Marko Shlyahovoy-Karmelyuk"Otaman Dyakiv - was from the family of 29-30 years old, of huge Cossack height and always walked in the Cossack - Black Sea Cossack of Catherine’s times - outfit. His father was a poor peasant. Since the beginning of the revolution in 1917, Dyakiv, while in the naval service of the Russian army, participated in the Ukrainian military organizations of the Black Sea Fleet. When the Black Sea Fleet, like the others, began to Bolshevik towards the end of 1917, Dyakov left the fleet and voluntarily came to the Central Rada. Here, at the time of the Central Rada’s fight with the Bolsheviks in January 1918, Dyakiv was already a free Cossack. From that time he became the chieftain of the Free Cossacks in his district in the Kyiv region. As Dyakov himself told me, he loved the Central Council and its then leaders so much that he was always ready to give his life in the fight against its enemies,Marko Shlyakhovy-Karmelyuk inaccurately provided data on him regarding his service in the navy).

At the end of 1918, a co-conspirator of Otaman Zelenyi (Danyl Terpyla) on the issue of statehood and, at the same time, an opponent regarding the means of achieving the goal, organized opposition to him against the imposition of “requisitions” on the local population of Kagarlyk .

In August-September 1919, he destroyed a cell of Soviet power in the village of Hermanivka , Kyiv County, which organized armed robbery (removal of grain, flour, and other food) from the peasants of the nearest volosts under the authority of the Bolsheviks in Kyiv during 1919 at the behest of the pro-Russian government of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Wife Hanna Oleksiivna, children: Pavlo, Petro, Vira and Maria .

He never had a son, Yakov, with reference to whose testimony Sava Dyakov is credited with participating in the death of Ataman Zeleni . According to the testimony of his daughter Maria in 2011 (she lived in the same house in which Sava Dyakov’s family lived in 1919, in the village of Yanivka ), at the time of the death of Ataman Zeleny , he was in the town of Stava , Kyiv County, having received a report about his death. went with his own detachment to the detachment of Ataman Zelenyi to find out the circumstances of the death and determine further actions.

Betrayed by a local peasant from the village of Yanivka , who turned to Sava Dyakov for protection from the robbery of the sugar factory in Uzyna by the Denikinites and led him out on December 13, 1919, with a small detachment to an ambush near the township of Myrivka, Kyiv County , where Sava Dyakov died in battle.

The body was mocked: Denikinians hung his body by the legs on a market pole in Mirivka to intimidate the population.

He was buried at the cemetery of the village of Yanivka, Stavyn Volost, Kyiv County. “ and the origin of the family name “Дьяків”
