Scouts and secret agents of influence are never written in life. Moreover, they never publish genuine material. At the same time, the curious public is given the opportunity to read and re-read exciting novels created on the basis of real events. The intelligence of the Russian General Staff still seems to be an intangible phantom, although real characters are hidden behind these phantoms. Pavel Anatolyevich Sudoplatov worked and fought in Soviet times. His heroic activity serves as a model for future generations.
Son of the regiment
The events that unfolded on the territory of the Russian state after the First World War and the October Revolution will be an object of study for historians and sociologists for a long time to come. Not all the heroes of the war and large-scale construction projects managed to write memoirs. Among the lucky ones, so to speak, is the name of Pavel Anatolyevich Sudoplatov. A brief biography of this man is in itself "drawn" to a solid detective novel. A thinking reader is given the opportunity to reflect on the material presented.
The personal data of any scout does not always correspond to reality. According to metric materials, the future scout and saboteur was born on July 20, 1907 in a peasant family. Parents lived in a village near Melitopol. My father worked as a miller, my mother was engaged in housework. A child from young nails was accustomed to work and respect for elders. Pavel grew up a smart guy and watched with his own eyes how the villagers live, what they value and what goals they set for themselves in life.
Paul managed to get elementary education in a parish school. The civil war changed the established way of life and each person had to adapt to new circumstances. In 1919, as a teenager, Sudoplatov “stuck” to one of the units of the Red Army. He was christened the son of a regiment and put on allowance. Since that time, the boy began an adult life. The young man had to participate in hostilities and even be captured by the whites.
