Résumé
Russian Olga Chekhova was the niece of playwright Anton Chekhov and a famous Nazi-era film actress who was closely associated with Hitler. After fleeing Bolshevik Moscow for Berlin in 1920, she was allegedly recruited by her composer brother Lev to… become a Soviet spy - a career she spent her entire postwar life denying. Nevertheless, she ingeniously played powerful figures off against each other to survive the revolution, the war, and Stalin's purges. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. 2004.
