This book is about the fate of two people - the warrior and writer I. M. Petrov (Toivo Vyahya) and his wife Maria Sergeyevna Petrova. Toivo Juhonpoika Vyahya (also known as Ivan Mikhailovich Petrov, 12 April 1901 – 18 June 1984) was a Finnish born Soviet colonel of the KGB. He fled to Soviet Russia after the 1918 Finnish Civil War and made a long career in the Red Army and the Soviet Border Troops. Vyahya was one of the few Finnish exile revolutionaries who survived the Great Purge. He is best known for his role in the 1925 capture of the British super-spy Sidney Reilly during the Operation Trust.
