Richard Sorge is the greatest intelligence officer of the 20th century. A man of unique destiny and great personal courage, after his discovery and arrest, he turned the trial of the Ramzai residency members into his last stand.The author of this book, Sergey Leonidovich Budkevich, personally knew many of the defendants in the Sorge case. He served in the embassy station of Soviet military intelligence in Tokyo from 1936 to 1941, and his inside view makes the narrative particularly emotional and at the same time authentic.Sorge's execution took place at Tokyo's Sugamo Prison at 10:20 a.m. on November 7, 1944. According to the memoirs of its participants, before the hanging, the scout behaved very calmly. Richard Sorge fulfilled his duty, went down in history and made an invaluable contribution to the Victory. And he didn't regret the choice he made."Now… I am even more convinced of the correctness of my decision made twenty-five years ago. I can say this decisively, reflecting on everything that has happened in my life..." — FROM RICHARD SORGE'S STATEMENT AT THE INVESTIGATION
