Tatiana L. Dubinskaya (1902–90) served in the Russian army until 1917, then became a soldier and a nurse for the Red Army during the Russian Civil War (1917–22). After the civil war, she worked as a typist for the Red Army in Moscow and later became a writer. The Communist Party sent her to Tajikistan in 1931, and on her return to Moscow, she became active with the Union of Soviet Writers, earning a reputation as a Communist Party informant. Lawrence M.
