Dmitri Petrovich Pozhidaev (Russian: Дмитрий Петрович Пожидаев, 1913 – 1989) was a Soviet diplomat who served as ambassador to Egypt during the Six-Day War in 1967. According to one work on the Six-Day War, Pozhidaev was believed by officials in the United States to have "contributed to the rising tensions", with one official referring to him as "one big trouble-maker".[1] In August 1967, shortly after the Six Day War, he was removed as ambassador to Egypt and transferred to an unspecified post.[2]
As Soviet archives for the period remain closed the details of his role are not clear.[3]
