Life and people of Afghanistan in 1921. Larisa Mikhailovna Reisner (1895-1926) was a Russian revolutionary, writer, poet, journalist, and diplomat. She participated in the Russian Civil War. In 1916-1917, Reisner had a passionate romance with N. S. Gumilev. In 1917, she was involved in the protection of monuments. She was the secretary of A. V. Lunacharsky. In 1918, she married Fyodor Raskolnikov and joined the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks). In August 1918, she went on a reconnaissance mission to the Kazan region occupied by the White Army. In 1918, the People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs, Leon Trotsky, appointed her as the commissar of the Maritime General Staff of the RSFSR. From June 1919 to mid-1920, Reisner participated in combat operations again, this time with the Volga-Caspian Flotilla, and from the summer of 1920, she became an employee of the Political Directorate of the Baltic Fleet. During her stay in Petrograd in 1920-1921, Reisner was involved in literary and social life and developed a close relationship with A. A. Blok. In 1921, she was in Afghanistan as part of a Soviet diplomatic mission, led by her husband F. Raskolnikov. She later separated from Raskolnikov and returned to Moscow, where she became the lover of Karl Radek and an agent of the Comintern. In 1923, she was a curator and organizer of a state coup in Germany involving the communist movement. After her trip to Germany, Reisner parted ways with Radek and went to the Donbass region. In 1926, she died in Moscow from typhoid fever at the Kremlin Hospital. Larisa Reisner became the prototype of the female commissar depicted in the play "Optimistic Tragedy" by Vishnevsky. Boris Pasternak's enthusiastic attitude towards L. M. Reisner, whom he considered "embodied charm," gave him the basis to name the main character of his novel "Doctor Zhivago" after Larisa. The edition has a print run of 30 copies using print-on-demand technology. Reprint from the 1925 edition. Moscow-Leningrad. Contains many illustrations.
