Mikhail Konstantinovich Diterikhs (Russian: Михаи́л Константи́нович Ди́терихс, German: Michail Konstantinowitsch Diterichs; May 17, 1874 – September 9, 1937) served as a general in the Imperial Russian Army and subsequently became a key figure in the monarchist White movement in Siberia and the Russian Far East area during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1923.
Descended from Lutheran Sudeten German ancestors who became Baltic Germans,[1] Diterikhs had a reputation as "a deeply religious man, the walls of whose private railway coach were plastered with icons"; he saw himself as "waging a holy war against the Bolshevik heathens".[2]
