Global InformationIvan Beshoff information
Ivan Beshoff (Russian: Иван Бешов, romanized: Ivan Beshov; 1882/84 – 25 October 1987) was a Russian participant in the 1905 mutiny on the battleship Potemkin. After the mutiny he fled to Britain where he met Vladimir Lenin and Irish republican James Larkin. Developing an interest in Ireland, he moved to Dublin in 1913, and later found work as an agent for the Soviet-owned company Russian Oil Products. He was arrested on suspicion of espionage. The company collapsed in 1940. Sometime after, he established a fish and chip shop, that survives as a chain in Dublin run by his descendants.[1]
