Under Leon Trotsky, Zalkind became First Deputy of the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. After Trotsky's fall, Zalkind fell victim to the Stalinist purges.

Ivan Abramovich Zalkind (Russian: Иван Абрамович Залкинд) (born 1 May[1] 1885 in Saint Petersburg,[2] Russia; killed 27 November[1] 1928 in Leningrad[3], Soviet Union), also known as Ivan Artamonov (Russian: Иван Артамонов)[3], 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 resp. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs).[4][5][6][7][8] When Trotsky resigned as foreign minister (because of the peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk), Zalkind was sent as plenipotentiary resp. consul to Switzerland (Zurich[3][9][10][11][12], 1918), Turkey (Istanbul, 1922), Latvia (Liepāja, 1923) and Italy (Genoa, 1924, resp. Mailand, 1925). Back in the Soviet Union he was shot after Trotsky's downfall.[3]
