On September 6, 1998, the Japanese National Gazeta of Asahi called Richard Sorge among the hundred outstanding people of the twentieth century, despite the fact that this person violated Japanese laws and was executed as a criminal - the first of foreigners in the history of modern Japan. Such a recognition is not by chance, because in Japan, as elsewhere in the world, real heroes are appreciated, and the Japanese considered Sorge worthy of introducing to this list. Do we appreciate Sorge today?
Since the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, more than half a century has passed, the country to which he served, moral guidelines and ideas about the world order have changed. Remembering Sorge, many are increasingly asking questions: was he really a hero? Was the chief of German intelligence Schellenberg, who called Sorge a double agent right? Or maybe it’s still simpler: Sorge is a strongly overestimated womanizer and drinking, to whom mythical merits like a warning to Stalin about the German attack on the USSR are only assigned? And why, by the way, did Stalin believe him? How could the Tokyo residency of the "Ramzai failed if its leader was such an outstanding scout? And by the way, what happened before - to Tokyo? The answers to these and many other questions are contained here, the first scientific, unpleasant, but most objective biography of Richard Sorge, written on a strictly documentary basis by historian Alexander Kulanov, noted for his research in the confrontation of the Japanese and Soviet special services prizes of the Ministry of Defense and FSB of Russia
