Main heroes and actores

In May 1945, the German cargo ship Heinrich Arp was seized by the Allies of World War II at Hamburg. She was passed to the MoWT and renamed Empire Connemara. The ship was in Clyde River when on the 3 of May 1946 she transferred, as per the repatriation, to the Soviet Union and renamed Liza Chaikina in honor Soviet Union partisan Liza Chaikina.[2][3][4]

Traditionally the Great Britain is the Mistress of the Seas. Plenty of German ships were redelivered from Great Britain to the Soviet Union in 1945 and 1946, as per the repatriation program, but only one ship was named in honor woman Liza Chaikina, who was not very famous Soviet partisan. Liza is Russian short name of the name Elizabeth. Family name Chaikina (Russian: Чайкина) translation on English is the Daughter of Seagull due to on Russian "Чайка" is a seagull and last letters "ина" means a daughter. Summary is Elizabeth is the Daughter of Seagull, it was a Soviet Union reverence the future Queen Elizabeth II and it was a code nickname for Russian Intelligence services also.[4]

Soviet actress Lyudmila Kasatkina performed the main role in the film Tamer of Tigers, the role of tamer of tigers Yelena Vorontsova. Family name Kasatkina (Russian: Касаткина) translation on English has double meaning:

But this film is a Soviet feminism movie[5] and the main heroine has to be like orca for the men in tiger pelage.

The main heroine family name Vorontsova was the same family name of the Graf, and Knyaz also, Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov and the Statue of Graf Vorontsov, the Odessa Intelligence subdivision statue, was erected in Odessa in XIX century. Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov was a son of Graf Semyon Vorontsov, who was a Russian embassador in London.

Soviet actor Pavel Kadochnikov was filmed, he was the main hero, in the Soviet first spy film Secret Agent in 1947.

The understudy

When shooting a scene with the tigers, the actress Lyudmila Kasatkina never had agreed to go into the cage with the animals. For this reason she had an understudy and professional trainer Margarita Nazarova, whose complexion was significantly different from Kasatkina figures.[1]

The real inner history was around the understudy Margarita Nazarova. On beginning of World War II, young girl Margarita Nazarova was captured by the Germans and transported to Germany where she danced in the places of entertainment. She was under prohibition of one German man. When Soviet troops entered in Germany in 1945, she was freed and passed on to Soviet Union territory.[6]

Mostly, the girls, that danced for the Germans or workers in the territory of Germany, were sent to a Soviet concentration camp, but Margarita was placed in one of Soviet Baltic republic and commenced to work in a circus. Seems, her German person was very significant man. It means that the woman, who must be in a Soviet concentration camp, soon received possibilities to travel abroad together with the circus.

In 2016, a new Soviet TV-serial film Margarita Nazarova was premiered, and above mentioned situation was described in this film. Also, more information in computer articles about Margarita Nazarova, but any way nothing about operation "Tigers".

Margarita was trained to be tamer of tiger and an understudy for film Tamer of Tigers. And from this film she became a tamer of tigers really in circus also. After premiere of this film she commenced to work in the circus with tree Ussuriysk tigers and one baby Bengalian tiger was presented to her. She named this yang Bengalian tiger Pursh, due to the tiger often grumbled "prsh". What is this name mentioned? Can it be a German family name Pursh or Porsche; the Russians often shorten this automobile name to Porsh. The German company "Ferdinand Porsche" produced the tanks "Tiger" during the World War II.

Anyway, Margarita was a provincial girl, and she was not interesting for the Western Intelligence subdivisions. In the second part of 1940s, NATO was formed and Soviet press named all NATO countries Intelligence service as Western Special Service or Western Intelligence services. The Margarita, short name is Rita or Margo, can be interesting for the Western Special Services in case she has communication with interesting people or involved in Soviet Intelligence subdivisions.

So, she was married to a tamer of tigers and KGB officer Konstantin Konstantinovskiy. But this also was not enough and via she and her husband Western Special Services had to investigate the Grigoriy Zhukovsky family in Odessa and this Zhukovsky family had to be on frontline of Soviet Intelligence Services in future.

Grigoriy Zhukovskiy Family had more possibilities to rise Western Special Services interest. Three daughters of Grigoriy Zhukovskiy were 19, 17, 15 years old in 1954, and they were not married yet. It is why the company chose to find good matches for these daughters, commencing in the second part of 1950s. Finally, the daughters were married, and two of their husbands were seaman of Black Sea Shipping Company, and another one was a taxi driver or Intelligence Service person. One husband, Nikolay, a seaman, worked on the cargo ships Nezhin, Karaganda, Metallurg Anosov. Nikolay and his son, a grandson of Grigoriy Zhukovskiy, were born in the years of the tigers, in 1938 and 1962. And these two persons, the father and son, became a continuation of the operation "Tigers" from 1960s.

When Margarita Nazarova was an old woman, she believed that luck had turned away from her fate after the movie Striped Trip (1961). Yes, it is correct due to the Intelligence game commenced around the Grigoriy Zhukovskiy family and Margarita lost the interest or due to she already had unnecessary contact with that German person aboard. In my opinion, she lost interest from the Western Intelligence Services.[7]

Accolades
