Victoria Fyodorova (formerly Pouy; January 18, 1946 - September 5, 2012) was a Russian-American actress and author. She was born shortly after World War II to U.S. Admiral Jackson Tate (1898-1978) and Russian actress Zoya Fyodorova (1909-1981); the couple had had a brief affair before Tate was expelled from Moscow by Joseph Stalin. Victoria Fyodorova wrote the 1979 book, The Admiral's Daughter, which was about her experience attempting to reunite with her father. When Stalin learned of the affair, Tate was declared persona non grata and expelled from Russia. Zoya Fyodorova was arrested and sent to Siberia for eight years. University of Connecticut professor Irene Kirk learned of Victoria's story in 1959 and spent years trying to find Tate in the United States.[3] Tate was unaware of having a daughter and of his former lover's arrest and imprisonment. When Kirk found Tate in 1973, she carried correspondence back and forth between the two. In 1974, Tate began a campaign to convince the Soviet government to allow his daughter to travel to see him. She was granted permission and arrived in the United States on a three-month travel visa. She spent several weeks in seclusion with her father in Florida. While in the United States, she met Frederick Pouy, a pilot for Pan American World Airways; and they married on June 7, 1975, days before her visa was to expire. Their son, Christopher Alexander Fyodor Pouy, was born on May 3, 1976. Zoya Fyodorova was allowed to travel to the U.S. to be with her daughter for the birth. Zoya died from a gunshot wound in 1981 under circumstances never fully explained. Artikel-Nr. 75361
