Abstract
The reviewed book (written by Andrey Varlamov) is the result of a study of the biography of an amazing person Georgy Vladimirovich Tsebrikov, a writer, a priest, a white emigrant, a diplomat and, very likely, an illegal intelligence officer. He played a key role in organizing Mikhail Borodin's mission to Mexico in 1919 (and not only in this). The author, based his research on previously unknown archival documents and literature, and was able to explore the vicissitudes of the life of G.V.Tsebrikov (known also as Jorge Villardo), showing various interpretations of complex episodes of his relationship with the Comintern, diplomacy, the White immigrant community, the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. The author has successfully restored unknown episodes of the interwar history of Soviet Russia, Mexico, Spain and a number of other countries.
