Dmitry Aleksandrovich Bystrolyotov — lawyer, physician, artist, writer, polyglot who knew 19 languages, and illegal intelligence operative — devoted 13 years of his life to Soviet intelligence and spent 18 years in Stalin’s camps, leaving us his memoirs, testimonies, and reflections in a cycle of books under the general title “Feast of the Immortals.”
As an illegal intelligence agent, the author of “Feast of the Immortals” had to visit the USA, Italy, Austria, Spain, Greece, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland under the covers of the Dutch artist Hans Gelleni and the Hungarian count Perelyi de Karalgaz, the American gangster Joe Perrelli, a Brazilian businessman, and an English lord. Today, in the spy museum in the USA, there is an exhibition dedicated to him, where he is referred to as nothing less than a SUPER SPY. Some pages of his illegal work remain classified to this day.
