Summary/Abstract |
REMEMBER Pastor Schlag from the TV series "Seventeen Moments of Spring"? Remember when in the spring of 1945, the poor bloke played by Rostislav Plyatt stumbled on skis from Germany to Switzerland with only a hunch that the person who sent him there, Stirlitz, was not a German patriot but a Soviet intelligence officer?

Summary/Abstract |
OVER THE PAST YEAR, there has been a flurry of positive interaction between the militaries of Russia and South Africa. Who would have predicted a few years ago that Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers would pay a visit to South Africa? And who would have expected the deployment of the Russian cruiser Marshal Ustinov to Cape Town? What's more interesting is the backstory here.

Summary/Abstract |
SITTING IN THE RUSSIAN STATE ARCHIVES for Socio-Political History (RGASPI), formerly the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute, on Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street in Moscow, I hold in my hands a top secret, until recently, folder with unique documents in Russian, Spanish and English.
It contains materials from the history of the organization with the name exotic even for political gourmands. I mean the Paraguayan Communist Party (PCP) of the mid-1930s.

Summary/Abstract |
EVEN minus 30 degrees Celsius is quite tolerable here. The snow crunches invigoratingly, the lungs are filled with crystal clear air. This is because we are talking about an amazing place described by the formula "55/55" - the point where 55 degrees north latitude intersects 55 degrees east longitude. This place is deep in Eurasia and, accordingly, has the classic continental climate. The air is dry; there is no wind. That is why it is easy to breathe here in winter, even during the coldest weather. In summer, on the contrary, the air is so sultry that the Bashkir village of Kushnarenkovo (where our story unfolds) boasts one of the northernmost vineyards on our planet.

Summary/Abstract |
A CURIOUS DOG first leapt out of the bushes. It sniffed everything around it. Then it ran on. There was its mistress. The high boots that in England are called Wellingtons. Khaki jodhpurs. A green oilcloth jacket with a brown velvet collar. And the woman herself was a blonde with a distinctive (if not characteristic) bump in her nose, clearly passed down from her Norman ancestors.

Summary/Abstract |
THIS is the continuation of our efforts to find out who were the women whom Soviet intelligence planted as secret agents in Western Europe via Britain in 1941-1943. They went ashore in the UK with Soviet passports to the names of Maria Dicksen, Yelena Nikitina, Emilia Novikova, Anna Uspenskaya, and Anna Frolova.
