seen his daughter, actress
Victoria Fyodorova, 29, the
product of a World War II love
affair in Moscow between Tate
and Zoya Fyodorova, a well
known Russian actress.
Miss Fyodorova applied three
months ago for a visa to leave
Russia to see her father, who
recently undewent open heart
surgery and is not physically
able to travel.
The Soviet government has
not responded to Miss Fyodoro
va’s visa request and Tate
asked Brezhnev to “use your
great influence so that Victoria
may visit me.
“I can only hope and pray
that soon I and the world will
know the answer, and I hope
and pray that it will be ‘Da’
(Russian for yes),” Tate wrote
the Soviet leader.
Tate said he has sent sworn
statements guaranteeing his
daughter’s care and an official
Navy report as to the gravity of
his health to Odir, the Soviet
visa agency.
Tate was a Naval captain on
a mission to Moscow when he
met Zoya Fyodorova, who later
was banished to Siberia for
eight years when the affair was
discovered. Tate was expelled
from Russia and did not know
of his daughter’s existence until
recently.
He said he has talked with
Victoria by telephone but had
trouble communicating because
of the language barrier.
“She expects to find a knight
in shining armor, but all she’s
going to find is an old man at
the end of the road,” he said
recently.
