Elena Ferrari. Kulanov A.E.

Her name was Lucy Revzina, Olga Golubovskaya, Elena Ferrari. There were also operational pseudonyms - “Lucy”, “Olga”, “Irene”, probably others. We know far from everything about her, but what is established makes us think. About for example, what was the attitude of this spectacular woman with biblical eyes to the sinking in 1921 of the yacht of General Wrangel "Lukull", easily attributed to her report by journalists. And about her role in the recruitment of agents for the Richard Sorge group in Tokyo. And about who she really was: a terrorist who was arrested by the Cheka back in 1919, the “devoted party of the party” by the intelligence agent or one of the last poets of the Silver Age, who was friends with Gorky? Was she disappointed in her work or sacrificed to the sacrifice of operational work? And, perhaps, the main thing: is it necessary to look for confirmation of the conventional phrase “there are no coincidences” in her fate or write off all the misfortunes to the will of evil rock, without suspicion of conspiracy?
