записки молодого враля

прочла статью Эрика Онобля про агентов украинских коммунистов в тылу Деникина (Quaestio Rossica 2021). множество чрезвычайно авантюрных подробностей, годящихся для канала Линор Горалик про "даже литература бы постыдилась", например:

Amateurism could have less tragic and even funny consequences. In late summer 1919, a group of activists from Bakhmut had the wonderful idea of setting up a peculiar form of underground activity: four of them joined a Ukrainian touring theatre company in order to cross the frontline and then travel freely in the White territory. Eventually, after various setbacks (including learning how to act), their plan failed and they had to wait for the Red Army’s decisive offensive in December to go back to Ukraine.

One envoy who was about to be searched shot the enemy agent with the latter’s own Browning. Another, who was imprisoned, managed to save a fellow inmate’s life by arguing that she was a very young girl and the daughter of a priest. He was then beaten with sabers and bayonets and left for dead… allowing him to escape. When reading these accounts, one might think that such bravado better fits a spy or war novel than a narrative of class struggle.
