Vera Alexandovna SOUVTCHINSKY, aliases GOUTCHKOVA, TRAILL, MIRSKY: Russian at birth and British by marriage. The daughter of Alexander GOUTCHKOV, a member of KERENSKY's government, Vera TRAILL fled to Paris with her family, visited the UK regularly during the 1920s, and acquired British citizenship through a marriage of convenience to Robert TRAILL, a Communist journalist later killed while with the International Brigade. KRIVITSKY said she was a Russian agent in Paris, and the French police identified her as a close associate of the group believed to have been responsible for murdering Ignace REISS. She came to the UK in 1941, settling in Oxford for the duration of the war
