Larisa Mikhailovna Reisner (1895-1926) - Russian revolutionary, writer and poet, journalist, diplomat. Participant in the Civil War in Russia. In 1916-1917, Reisner had a passionate romance with N.S. Gumilyov. 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 RCP(b). In August 1918, she went on a reconnaissance mission to the occupied Kazan. In 1918, Lev Trotsky, the People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs, appointed her as the Commissar of the Naval General Staff of the RSFSR. From June 1919 to mid-1920, Reisner once again participated in military operations, this time with the Volga-Caspian Flotilla, and from the summer of 1920, she became a member of the Political Directorate of the Baltic Fleet. During her stay in Petrograd in 1920-1921, Reisner participated in literary and social life and developed a close acquaintance with A.A. Blok. In 1921, she was in Afghanistan as part of a Soviet diplomatic mission, led by her husband F. Raskolnikov. She then 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 in Germany. After her trip to Germany, Reisner broke up with Radek and went to the Donbass. In 1926, she died in Moscow from typhoid fever at the Kremlin Hospital. Larisa Reisner became the prototype of the female commissar depicted in Vishnevsky's play "Optimistic Tragedy". The enthusiastic attitude towards L.M. Reisner by B.L. Pasternak, who considered her "embodied charm", gave him the reason to name Larisa the main heroine of his novel "Doctor Zhivago".
