[Global Times special correspondent in Russia Sun Feng Jingqi Shen Bao special correspondent Liu Yupeng] who participated in the assassination of Nazi Germany during the 1943 Allied Summit in Tehran - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill's major conspiracy of the legendary Soviet female agent Goar Valtanian died in Moscow on the 25th local time, at the age of 93. Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service commented that Valtanyan has made great contributions to national interests and national security. The deeds of Goar Valtanyan and her husband, Gevorg Valtanyan, have been written into books and made into films, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of many intelligence agents and ordinary people.

According to the Russian News Agency reported on the 26th, Gohar Valtanyan was born on January 25, 1926 in Leninakan (Gyumri) City, Armenia. In the early 1930s, she moved to Iran with her family. At the age of 16, she joined the anti-fascist group led by Gövörg Valtanyan, and in a common intelligence career, the two fell in love and became united in 1946. In 1943, as a member of the group, she participated in the organization of the protection of the "Big Three" during the Tehran Conference, successfully preventing the assassination of the "Big Three" against stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, code-named "long jump" by Hitler's spy agency. For this action, Gohar said in an interview with the media: "There were only a few people in our group at that time, and the oldest was only 18 years old. The group came to be known as the 'Hussars' because we rode our bikes for seventeen or eight hours a day, tracking German intelligence officers in Tehran, and finally we dug up 400 German spies. Beginning in the 1950s, Goar and Gewalge, under the pseudonyms Anita and Anri, conducted intelligence activities in many countries, obtaining secret intelligence from multiple NATO bases in Italy, Greece and Germany. Until returning to the Soviet Union in 1986, Goar and her husband had worked in nearly 100 countries under various pseudonyms for 43 years, and they were regarded as one of the most successful secret agent couples in the world. Gohar has told reporters that she has no right to talk about the mission she is engaged in because it is a state secret and she is tight-lipped about even the countries and regions she has visited. Russian President Vladimir Putin once asked her which countries she had worked in, and Goar cleverly replied, "A lot of countries!"

Russia's "Viewpoint" reported on the 26th that Sergei Ivanov, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency, said that Goar continued to make his own contributions to intelligence work after his honorable retirement in 1986 and trained young intelligence personnel. In recognition of his significant contributions to the motherland, Goar was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the Grand Patriotic War Medal of the Second Class. Russian experts believe that the results of their work are so remarkable that they may never be declassified. Goar's husband, Gevorg, who died in Moscow in 2012 at the age of 87, was the first intelligence officer to be awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union." The deeds of the Valtanyans were artistically crafted into the classic film Tehran-43 starring French film star Alain Deron in 1980, which won the Gold Medal at the Moscow International Film Festival in 1981, and its theme song is familiar to many Chinese, Chinese the title is "Let Love Stay in the World".
