We read all the lead to present a different history.
During the Brezhnev era, the Soviet Union vigorously pursued a policy of exporting revolutions, and the Middle East became the focus of contention between the Soviet Union and the United States. At that time, Iran was under the rule of the Pahlavi dynasty, a regime supported by the United States and very close to the United States, Israel and other countries. However, as a major power in the Middle East and a neighbor of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also needed to maintain good relations with Iran in order to maintain its own security and even wait for the opportunity to pull Iran to its side.
So, in 1970, when the Iranian King Mohammed Reza Pahlavi led a delegation to the Soviet Union, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev, also led Soviet officials large and small, and warmly welcomed the delegations of neighboring countries. In international diplomacy at that time, visiting other countries usually brought family members, which could show friendship and cordiality, and even had the opportunity to carry out "lady diplomacy". Iranian Queen Farah Pahlavi, who accompanied Iranian King Reza Pahlavi on a trip to the Soviet Union, was a female star in international politics at the time, and in 1967 Farah became the first coronation queen in Iranian history, and she also played an increasingly important role in her husband's government.
At this time, Farah was only 32 years old, which is the most attractive age for women. Although already a mother of four children, Farah still maintained a delicate figure and noble temperament, and she became the most beautiful landscape in this diplomatic event. Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders were also captivated by Farah's charm, and a very interesting classic photograph was handed down.
In the photo, King Reza Pahlavi shakes hands with Brezhnev, and the King of Iran and his interpreters are smiling at Brezhnev. Embarrassingly, however, Brezhnev's eyes were completely fixed on Queen Farah beside Pahlavi. Not only Brezhnev, but also several Soviet officials beside him also looked in the direction of Queen Farah. Although the Soviet Union is a country rich in beautiful women, it seems that the charm of Queen Farah still makes the men of the Soviet Union irresistible!
Unfortunately, however, despite the fact that Queen Farah unleashed her charm in "lady diplomacy," it was still difficult for the Soviet Union and Iran to form a trusting partnership. In 1978, the "Islamic Revolution" broke out in Iran, the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown, and Khomeini took the opportunity to establish Iran as a theocratic state. In this process, the Soviet Union also played a role in fueling the waves. In this way, Reza Pahlavi became the last king of Iran.
After that, Farah followed her husband Reza Pahlavi into exile and traveled to Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas, Panama and Mexico. However, this upheaval caused the elderly Pahlavi to deteriorate dramatically, and in 1980 The last King of Iran, Pahlavi, passed away.
This year, Farah was only 42 years old, but she had become the queen of the fallen kingdom. In order to survive, she had to immigrate to the United States with her four children, at a time when her eldest son, Reza Pahlavi II, was only 20 years old and her youngest daughter, Lyra, was only 10 years old. The helpless Farah had to sell his dowry to raise his children. In order to alleviate the poverty of the shortfall, at the suggestion of a friend, Farah began to write a memoir. In 2003, Farah's memoir, Eternal Love: My Years with Pahlavi, was officially published, which brought her a lot of income, and the former queen finally achieved self-reliance with her own hands.
However, compared to career success, Farah's family is full of countless tragedies. First, in 2001, Farah's youngest daughter, Lyra, committed suicide in a Hotel in London; 10 years later, her second son, Ali, also committed suicide by drinking a bullet. Ali holds a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University and is the most educated member of the Pahlavi family. However, the successful prince once again let Farah experience the pain of the white-haired man sending the black haired man.
The heavy life did not knock down this woman whose fate was twisting. The elderly Farah is still in good health. The exiled queen is still waiting for the day when she will return to Iran and bring back her husband's ashes!
