In early 1945 a famous Russian film star and a dashing American naval officer met at a Soviet-American friendship party in Moscow given by then Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov Zoya Fyodorova, 33, was at the peak of her career; she had starred in a dozen roles and had received an offer from MGM. Captain Jackson Tate, 47, had been assigned to Moscow to help the Russians in an abortive plan for the Soviet bombing of Japan. In the brief glow of Allied wartime collaboration, Zoya and Jack fell in love. Their last meeting was on V-E day 1945, when they hoped a child was conceived. If that proved to be so, the couple vowed to name the baby Victor or Victoria in honor of the Allied triumph. Five months after Zoya`s affair with Jack had begun, the actress was suddenly sent on a road tour, and Jack was declared persona non grata by the Soviets. He was put aboard a plane for Washington the same day. Zoya learned later that he had vainly sent her a series of desperate letters. A few years later, he received an anonymous note from Russia, probably inspired by the secret police, that said: "Stop annoying our famous actress. She has married a composer and already has two children." In fact, Zoya never married. After Victoria`s birth, she was arrested and subsequently sentenced to 25 years for espionage because of her relationship with the American officer. Her baby girl was sent to live with an aunt in remote Kazakhstan in Central Asia. In 1955 Zoya was released and reunited with her daughter. Since then Zoya has returned to films as a character actress, and Victoria has become a famous movie actress herself. She has been featured in 17 major films, and starred as a deaf-mute in A Ballad of Love. When Ballad was released in the U.S. in 1966, Victoria was acclaimed by one reviewer as "perfect in a difficult part." Jack Tate, who returned to the U.S. and married, was unaware of Zoya`s fate and of the existence of his daughter until 1963. An American guide at a 1959 U.S. exhibit in Moscow had met Zoya and heard her story, and after a four-year search for Tate finally located him. His letters to Zoya were returned by the Soviet post office until 1973, when one was delivered to her by hand. Since then Tate, a retired rear admiral living in Orange Park, Fla., has been corresponding with his lost family. In a letter to Zoya he wrote, "I loved you then, and I still love you. We have done no harm to anyone, only loved each other. Why should we be the subject of malice from a powerful political organization or government? And certainly there can be no onus on Victoria, the innocent child of our union."
