Eleonora Ioffe's new book "Heroes and Traitors. White Emigration in Finland: The War of Intelligence" tells the story of the fate of former Russian officers who left their homeland and were involved in the struggle against Soviet Russia. It is a story about the relationship between the Soviet Union and Finland over the decades, when the Suomi country turned out to be a springboard for the active activity of opposing forces: the Russian military emigration and intelligence agencies of Western countries on the one hand and the Soviet counterintelligence on the other. This is new data about the bloody end of the operation "Trust" and young Russian emigrants-terrorists, ready to give their lives for the "white idea", not suspecting that their actions are guided by counterintelligence officers from the Lubyanka.
The story is based on previously unknown archival documents - diaries, correspondence, interrogation protocols and police reports. Eleonora Ioffe's book will be in demand by all those who are interested in the life and activities of the Russian emigration, as well as the activities of Western and Soviet intelligence. Local historians of the Karelian Isthmus will find a lot of new information in it. The letters of Kirill Pushkarev from 1930-1939 to Baroness Maria Dmitrievna Wrangel, the mother of the leader of the White Movement, General Pyotr Nikolaevich Wrangel, kept in the Hoover Archive (USA) and published for the first time in the Appendix to the book, will be of great interest not only to historians. They contain valuable, one could say sensational from the point of view of the history of the Russian emigration in Finland, but practically unknown information, which for the first time will be introduced into the scientific turnover.
