As an illegal intelligence officer, the author of “The 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 painter Hans Gelleni and the Hungarian Count Perelyi de Karalgaza, the American gangster Joe Perreli, a Brazilian businessman, and an English lord. In our time, there is an exhibit dedicated to him in the Spy Museum in the USA, where he is referred to as nothing other than a SUPER SPY. Some pages of his illegal work remain classified to this day.
Dmitry Alexandrovich Bystrolyotov — lawyer, doctor, artist, writer, polyglot who knew 19 languages, and illegal intelligence officer who gave 13 years of his life to Soviet intelligence and spent 18 years in Stalin’s camps — left us his memoirs, testimony, and thoughts in a cycle of books under the general title “The Feast of the Immortals”.
