Johannes Kaiv

Johannes Kaiv (8 July 1897 – 20 November 1965) was an Estonian diplomat. A graduate in law from the University of Tartu, Kaiv studied at The Hague Academy of International Law.[1] Between 1935 and 1939 he was the Honorary Consul in Sydney, Australia.[2][3][4] In the years 1939 to 1965, he served the Estonian government-in-exile as the acting Consul General of Estonia in New York City,[5][6] since 1940 in charge of Legation. In 1965 Ernst Jaakson succeeded him.

A veteran of the Estonian War of Independence, Kaiv was awarded the Military Order of the Cross of the Eagle, 3rd Class, in 1935.

On 21 November 1965, Kaiv died following a heart attack and was buried in the Kensico Cemetery in New York. His wife, Salme (1914–1999), was later buried beside him.[7][8]
