The Russian Embassy in Tokyo was among the last functioning institutions of Czarist Russia. This paper gives a fresh interpretation of the independent role of Russian diplomats and their activity in Japan in 1918-1924, and their experience of life as emigrants after Japan's recognition of the Soviet Union. Special attention is paid to such subjects as the contribution from the Embassy and its Consulates to the anti-Bolshevik struggle, its support of the Russian Refugees in the Far East and its attempts to press the Japanese government to Solve the problem of providing legal status for so-called "White Russians". The paper includes a few personal stories of the Russian diplomats, one of whom, pavel Vaskevich, was by nature a very gifted person, who served his country in various fields through the first quarter of the 20^<th> century. In his youth, Vaskevich wrote some research papers, which are still valuable today. Later, Vaskevich was an interpreter for the Russian Army during the Russo-Japanese War, then he served as diplomat in Korea, Japan and China, where he was the last Russian Consul of Dalian. He retired in Kobe, Japan, where he once lived with his fellow-ex-diplomat, Dmitrii Abrikossow, who then wrote about their life in the years of Second World War in his late memoires, Born into a wealthy family of Moscow merchants, Abrikossow entered the Russian Foreign Office; he was in fact the last official representative of Czarist Russia in Japan. Abrikossow and Vaskevich were piarticularly friendly with the famous Russian merchant Feodor Morozoff, who later mentioned about their relations in his memoires "A legacy to my Heirs". Among the other diplomats who served in Japan in those years, Naval Agents Apollinarii Voskresenskii and Admiral Boris Dudoroff, Consuls Vitalii Skorodumow and Evgenii Malinin are specially mentioned in Appendix.
