Vasily Vitalievich Shulgin (1878–1976) – politician, public figure, and journalist. A deputy of the Second, Third, and Fourth State Dumas, he accepted the abdication of Nicholas II during the February Revolution. One of the organizers and ideologists of the White movement. In 1925, while living in exile, Shulgin illegally crossed the Soviet border, accompanied by representatives of the “Trust” organization, and traveled through three cities — Kyiv, Moscow, and Leningrad. He described his impressions in *Three Capitals*. Shortly after the book’s publication, Operation “Trust” was declassified, and it became known to the general public that Shulgin had been accompanied on his trip by OGPU agents and that his book had been literally proofread at the Lubyanka.
