This made me think of you

[edit]

Piotrus I got here because the text I am working on adding to the black market article said she ran a network. I was somewhat skeptical and thought she might be one of the Gestapo countesses mentioned in Henri Lafont. Fast before says she is indeed notable, if perhaps little known in English. I found two good sources on a simple Google search, which tells me the databases will have more. If it's not your cup of tea, no worries; this is merely an offering for your possible entertainment. I will put some sources below, watchlist the page and take a look at the French and I guess Russian? probably worth building this one out as an example of the aristocratic underworld?

She apparently was Lafont's mistress. That in itself may be enough for notability regardless of filmography. Translating about five pretty interesting paragraphs from French. No Russian article, just Turkish, which is mainly filmography Elinruby (talk) 01:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting stuff. French wiki has mroe content but no footnotes :( Watchlisted, will try to remember to get back to this one day. Thanks for the ping! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly her father?
