The name Larissa Swirski (Odessa,1910 - Sevilla,1977), is little known, as is that of so many women who have played crucial parts in history. However, this young aristocrat - related to the Romanov family and settled in the province of Cadiz - played a key part in the web of espionage that was woven in Gibraltar during the Second World War and which was christened Spy Row by MI5. Initially as a spy for the Nazis and later, as she became aware of the genocide taking place, as a counter intelligence agent for the Allies, this glamorous female, who spoke 6 languages, was the inspiration for Ian Fleming to create the first Bond-girl in the film Casino Royale. Married to a military officer, a friend of General Francisco Franco's younger brother, Larissa obtained a pass issued by Eleuterio Sánchez Rubio, a lieutenant colonel in the Spanish government's 'Straits of Gibraltar Information Service', to cross into Gibraltar. There, she carried out numerous reconnaissance missions, accompanied at times by her daughter Liana. Although a mother and her daughter tended not to raise suspicion, on more than one occasion, she was almost discovered. Liana - now aged 88 - helps us to get to know Larissa and to give her the place in history that she rightly merits.

On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden became the 46th President of the United States of America and, at the age of 78, the oldest president ever to be elected. Taking office in the shadow of Donald Trump, Biden faced a highly divided country and an opposition that viewed him as illegitimate. After four tumultuous years of Trump, voters hoped that his experienced successor would restore peace and provide a sense of calm and steady leadership. Biden promised to be different. Just two weeks after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, he stood on the building's steps for his inauguration and preached about the need for unity and healing. Joe Biden launched his campaign back in 2020 by claiming his mission was to "restore the soul of America", and keeping the nation afloat, mainly undoing his predecessor's work. With that higher mission in mind, the president is both succeeding and struggling to address these simultaneous crises: preserving a fragile democracy and restoring national unity.
