Dmitry Raikov

Dmitrii Abramovich Raikov ( , born 11 November 1905 in Odessa; died 1980 in Moscow) was a Russian mathematician who studied functional analysis.

Raikov studied in Odessa and Moscow, graduating in 1929. He was secretary of the Komsomol at Moscow State University and was active in the 1929–1930 campaign against the mathematician Dmitri Fyodorovich Egorov. At that time he and his fellow campaigners also rejected non-applied research, but this soon changed. In 1933, he was dismissed from the Communist Party on charges of Trotskyism and exiled to Voronezh, but was rehabilitated two years later and returned to Moscow. From 1938 to 1948, he was at the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences and in the Second World War in the militia. He was habilitated (Russian doctorate) in 1941 with Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin at the Lomonosov University
