Stalin's Singing Spy: The Life and Exile of Nadezhda Plevitskaya - Hardcover

by Pamela A. Jordan (Author)

Stalin's Singing Spy follows the life of Nadezhda Plevitskaya, who achieved fame as one of Nicholas II's favorite singers and infamy as one of Stalin's agents. The first Western biography of this key figure and the first to reconstruct her sensationalized trial for kidnapping a White Army general, this book provides a fascinating window into Soviet-era espionage in interwar Europe.
