More info

She was the favorite singer of the last Russian Tsar. She was the first to bring a Russian folk song to the stage. She was the most popular singer in white emigration... and became a secret agent of Soviet intelligence.


Plevitskaya received fabulous fees, tickets for her performances were sold at exorbitant prices, they adored her, bowed before her, kissed her hands, threw flowers and jewelry at her feet. She was patronized by the most famous people of Russia. Chaliapin, Sobinov, Korovin, Stanislavsky, Mamontov were friends with her, she was admired by Prince Yuri Trubetskoy and the formidable Plehve, and the ministers of the court, and the Grand Dukes.


Then there was a revolution. Plevitskaya's house was burned down. And for her, the wanderings began. Sang for the whites. Sang for the Reds. In Bolshevik Odessa, it was no less popular than it used to be in the Mother See.


...In 1937, a high-profile trial took place in Paris: the famous Russian singer Nadezhda Plevitskaya was tried. Tried for links with Soviet intelligence. For the fact that she, along with her husband, the hero of the Civil War, General Nikolai Skoblin, organized the abduction of Yevgeny Karlovich Miller.
Plevitskaya was alone at the trial. Skoblin managed to escape, but she never gave out her husband's possible whereabouts. She didn't admit to anything at all. She only cried and said: "I swear to God, I'm not guilty! If I'm guilty of anything, then only in my love for my husband ... Judge for this!"
Nadezhda Plevitskaya received twenty years of hard labor. The fate of Nikolai Skoblin remained unknown.
