Yurij Yakovlevitch Glazov (1929–2000), sometimes cited as J. J. Glazov,[1] was a Russian Indologist known for his studies in Tamil and Malayalam languages and classical literature. He received his doctorate degree in 1962 for his studies on the classical Tamil language with a focus on Tirukkural.[2] He worked at Moscow State University, and published many articles on Tamil and Malayalam literature. He collaborated with other Indologists such as M. Andronov, S. Rudin, Kamil Zvelebil, Chandra Shekhar and A Krishnamurti.[2] He is credited with the first translations of the Tamil texts Tirukkural and the Cilappatikaram into the Russian language.[2]

In a review of linguistic studies on Tamil literature, the Czech scholar of Tamil literature Kamil Zvelebil wrote, Glazov published a "number of very important papers where he treated systematically and in detail the morphophonology and morphology of classical literary Tamil; all his papers are characterized by meticulous attention to details and sound methodological approach".[3]

His son Jamie Glazov is a writer based in the US and the editor of the conservative FrontPage Magazine.
