Male, a Soviet major who came to China as a military expert. He worked in South City in 1947. His home is in Saint Petersburg. His surname is probably Ivanov. He had a relationship with Hu Yin when she was 18. He moved with his unit frequently, which is why their correspondence continued for so long. He took all her manuscripts when he left China in 1952 and continued writing letters urging her to join him, but she ended things after the Battle of the Yalu River.
