On September 6, 1998, the Japanese national newspaper Asahi named Richard Sorge among one hundred outstanding people of the twentieth century, despite the fact that this man broke Japanese laws and was executed as a criminal - the first foreigner in the history of modern Japan. Such recognition is not accidental, for in Japan, as elsewhere in the world, true heroes are valued, and the Japanese found Sorge worthy of inclusion in this list. Do we appreciate Sorge today on merit? More than half a century has passed since he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, the country he served has disappeared, moral guidelines and ideas about the world order have changed. Remembering Sorge, many people increasingly ask themselves: was he really a hero? Was German intelligence chief Schellenberg right when he called Sorge a double agent? Or maybe it's even simpler: Sorge - a highly overrated womanizer and boozer, to whom only attributed mythical merits such as a worn-out warning to Stalin about the German attack on the USSR? And why, by the way, did Stalin not believe him? How could the Tokyo residence of "Ramsay" have failed if its head was such an outstanding intelligence officer? And, by the way, what was there before - before Tokyo? The answers to these and many other questions are contained here, in this book, the first scientific, unflattering, but the most objective biography of Richard Sorge, written on a strictly documentary basis by historian Alexander Kulanov, noted for his research in the field of confrontation between the Japanese and Soviet intelligence services prizes of the Ministry of Defense and the FSB of Russia
