Unique diamond in Russia named after legendary Soviet intelligence officers Gevorg and Gohar Vardanyans
The unique diamond kept in the Russian State Fund of Precious Metals and Precious Stones (Gokhran of Russia) under the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has been named after legendary Soviet intelligence officer Armenian Gevorg Vardanyan and his wife Gohar.
Rusarminfo.ru reports, the decision came on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Soviet intelligence directorate dealing with unofficial spies.
Gevorg Vardanyan was primarily responsible for thwarting Operation Long Jump, concocted by Adolf Hitler, headed by Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and led by Otto Skorzeny, which was an attempt to assassinate Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt at the Tehran conference in 1943.
The diamond is one of the rear founds in the nature, considering its two-layer form.
