And, unfortunately, life's way was cut off at the hands of a cold-blooded criminal.

Childhood

Zoya Fedorova was born on December 21, in 1909, in the city of Petersburg. The family brought up three daughters. The youngest of them was Zoya. The girl's father, a metalworker, was very enthusiastic about the ideas of the 1917 revolution . He took the most active part in it. As a result, he promptly made a great career in the Bolshevik Party. Together with his family in 1918 he was transferred to Moscow. Here he is the head of the passport office in the Kremlin itself. Subsequently, this will lead to quite unpleasant events.

From the earliest years Zoya was raving theater. She enjoyed visiting the drama circle. But her father did not share her hobbies. In his opinion, the daughter had to get a solid profession. Zoya obeyed her father. After graduating from school, she arranged a counter for work in the State Insurance.

At that time, the girl turned 17 years old. She did not like the work at all. After serving the necessary hours in the hated State Insurance, she fled to dances.

Aiding Spy

During one of the parties the girl gets acquainted with Cyril Prova - the military man. She has the most tender feelings for him. However, hopes were not come true. It was during this period that Zoya Fyodorova faced the first severe tests. The biography of an amazingly talented woman is simply filled with suffering. But even they could not break the spirit of the beautiful actress.

In 1927, in the autumn, suddenly arrested Prove. He is suspected of spying for Britain. After him, the Chekists take into custody Fedorov. She is considered an accomplice of a foreign spy.

During the interrogation, Zoya told how she had met Prove on one of the dance nights. She testified that their conversations had never touched politics or foreigners.

This arrest for a young girl could end badly enough. But this time the providence intervened, which, until a certain time, kept it. In November 1927 the case was closed. Henry Yagoda concluded that it was not possible to confirm the charges. This is quite a surprise at the time of the arrest.

Probably, Zoya Fedorova owes her providence at all to her liberation. There is an opinion that the OGPU had its own plans for it.

The debut of the actress

Zoe, in spite of protests and discontent of his father, in 1930, realizes his dream. She enters the school at the Theater of the Revolution. Even in her student years the girl is removed in an episodic role in the film "Counter" S. Yutkevich. But this film will not be the debut of the actress.

All relatives will be invited to the premiere. However, the episode in which she participated, during the final installation of the painting was cut out. This attempt failed. During the filming, she meets Vladimir Rapport - the operator. After 2 years he will become her husband.

The real debut of the actress was only in 1933. She played in the musical film "Harmony" I. Savchenko. The girl's talent was appreciated. It was after this film that one by one began to appear on the screens of the film with her participation.

In 1936 a wonderful film "Friends" was released. This is a touching story of three girls who voluntarily went to the front as sisters of mercy during the Civil War. The film was a huge success. It was this film that brought the all-Union fame to the actress.

It would seem that everything is fine in life. Zoya Fedorova (photo shows a charming actress) in demand, famous. However, the year of 1937 came hard.

The arrest of his father

At this time, life has prepared her another test. Father Zoe worked with Lenin. He believed that this gives him the right to speak unflatteringly about the leaders of the party. Unfortunately, the final is quite natural. Father Zoe under article 58 of the Criminal Code was arrested. He was sentenced to imprisonment for 10 years.

But the most surprising is that the arrest of his father did not affect the stellar career of his daughter. Continue to go out the films, in which starring actress Zoya Fedorova. Biography of an amazing woman from this moment will change. After all, the famous actress will make a series of attempts to free his father.

She will go to the reception to Beria. In the summer of 1941 a miracle will happen. Father will be released.

Flowers on the grave

Once the actress Zoya Fedorova was invited to the mansion of Beria, along Kachalova Street. Unfortunately, it is not for sure what happened between them. There are several versions.

One of them claims that a brave woman rejected the courtship of the omnipotent Commissar, cruelly insulting him. Beria allowed himself to meet an actress in pajamas. The woman was indignant and called Lavrenty Pavlovich "an old monkey." The People's Commissar ordered her to leave. Already on the street he caught up with her and presented a bouquet of roses. Beria's words sounded gloomy: "These are the flowers on your grave."

Another version shows that the actress responded to the courtship of a formidable People's Commissar. In addition, we should not forget that since 1927 Fedorova was an agent of the OGPU. As a result of all this, she receives permission from Beria, if necessary, to contact him personally. The fact that such an agreement took place is evidenced by a letter that Fedorova will write to the People's Commissar while in custody.

Love story

This is the beginning of their wonderful history of dating. Over time, it grew into love.

This story has generated a lot of very different rumors. Some sources claim that as an agent of the MGB, the woman was specifically introduced into the society of American diplomats. However, one should not forget that Zoe was an ordinary woman who fell in love with a handsome captain. After all, their acquaintance led to Fedorova's pregnancy. In 1946, the daughter of Victoria was born to Fedorova. But, unfortunately, the father of this joyful event did not find.

Politics interfered in their relations. After the war, former American allies became enemies for the Soviet Union. Therefore, an amazing and beautiful novel could not end happily. In 1945, the actress was sent to the Crimea on tour. And Jackson Tate receives an order from the Soviet authorities within 48 hours to leave the country. Returning from the tour, Zoya does not catch her beloved.

Jackson Tate receives an appointment in California. About fate of the woman he does not know anything. And do not even suspect that Zoya gave birth to a child. He sends letters, requests to the USSR every month. Naturally, he does not receive answers to them. And when Jackson was already desperate to receive any news, he received a short anonymous letter. It reports that Fedorova successfully married the composer and raised two children.

Meet the lovers will be possible only in 1976, when Zoe will be allowed to go abroad.

It was in 1955 that Fedorova reunited with her 9-year-old daughter. Soon she returned to the cinema. The actress is removed a lot. Now Zoe is given a small characteristic role.

Tragic death

In 1981, on December 11, a young man came to his aunt's house. He knocked, rang the doorbell, but he was not opened. It was very strange, because the meeting was arranged in advance.

There are several versions of her death. The only fact that is unquestionable is that Zoya Fedorova was killed by a man she knew well. After all, the actress never let in the house strangers, neighbors and did not even open the door to the technician-supervisor.

According to one version, Zoya was killed by a KGB agent. It is known that the actress in her youth wanted to move to America to her lover. But these plans did not materialize. Having visited three times in the US, where Victoria, the daughter of Zoe, immigrated, the actress was going to visit her 4 times. And at the same time she did not plan to return. The KGB could not let go of its agent in the United States.

According to another version, Zoya Fedorova was part of the "diamond" mafia. The skeleton consisted of children and wives of high-ranking figures of the Kremlin.
