Yevfimy Putyatin.
Y. V. Putyatin (November 8, 1803 – October 16, 1883) was a Russian admiral noted for his diplomatic missions to Japan and China which resulted in the signing of theTreaty of Shimoda in 1855. Yevfimy Putyatin was amongst the crew that sailed around the world with M.P. Lazarev (1822–1825). Нe led a Russian expedition to open Japan to trade, which went to England, Africa and Japan and back to Russia from 1852 to 1855, on board the frigatePallada, commanded by Admiral Ivan Unkovsky. These efforts culminated in the signing of a commercial treaty between Russia and Japan in 1855. He arrived in Nagasaki on August 12, 1853, just one month after the first visit of Commodore Perry. In his expedition, Putyatin was accompanied by a secretary, the writer Ivan Goncharov, who wrote a travelogue, The Frigate Pallada ,published in 1858 ("Pallada" is the Russian spelling of "Pallas").
He returned to Japan in October 1854 to continue the negotiations, landing at Shimoda. Negotiations were under way when the Diana was hit by thet sunami associated with the 1854 Ansei-Tōkai earthquake. Despite this the negotiations were successfully concluded on January 26, 1855, with the signing of the Shimoda Treaty. Putyatin's flagship Diana, which had been badly damaged, was on its way to Heda to carry out repairs, when it was sunk in a storm. Putyatin and the survivors continued to Heda, where they began to construct a new ship, christened Heda, with the help of the local people. The Heda, a 25 m schooner, was launched on May 10, 1855 and carried Putyatin back to Russia, where he was made a count in recognition of his successful trip.
In February 1857 he was appointed plenipotentiary to China and set out from St Petersburg in March of that year, and had a role in the Amur Annexation.
