Description
The book by Vladimir Orlov (1882–1941), a State Councillor in active service, an investigator for especially important cases at the headquarters of the Western Front during the First World War, an outstanding Russian counterintelligence officer, is now practically unknown; it was published in English under the title “Secret Dossier.” The author was a legendary person. It’s enough to say that he investigated such loud cases as the affair of the treason of the War Minister Sukhomlinov, the case of espionage by the gendarme colonel Myasoedov, the case of a number of Petersburg bankers who owned sugar factories and worked for Germany, and others. And his illegal work in the VChK (the commission for criminal cases), where he infiltrated on the orders of General Alexeyev, took place literally in full view of Dzerzhinsky himself.
But perhaps Orlov’s biggest case was the creation of an archive containing dossiers on many figures of the Soviet state, party functionaries, Comintern men from all over Europe and America, diplomats, and intelligence agents of the INO system of the OGPU—NKVD and the intelligence directorate of the Red Army. For this reason, he was constantly under the surveillance of the USSR’s special services.
Orlov’s fate is tragic. He died under mysterious circumstances, but there is an assumption that he was killed by Hitler’s men—against whom he fought just as sharply as against the Bolsheviks. The book is written in a captivating, genuinely interesting way. The reader learns a lot new about the work of White and Red intelligence services and counterintelligence, feels the atmosphere of that distant era in which the author himself was an active participant in many events. The narration, however, suffers from a certain excessive subjectivity, but even that does not make it worse.
