Sidney Reilly
Sidney George Reilly ( – ), commonly known as the so-called "Ace of Spies", was a secret agent of the British Secret Service Bureau, the precursor to the modern British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6/SIS).〔 He is alleged to have spied for at least four different powers.〔Richard Deacon, ''Spyclopaedia'', Macdonald 1987, ISBN 0-356-14600-6, pp. 133–136.〕
Reilly's fame was created during the 1920s, in part by his friend, the British diplomat and journalist Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart, who publicized their thwarted operation to overthrow the Bolshevik regime in 1918.〔 The London ''Evening Standard'' published in May 1931 a serial, headlined "Master Spy", imparting his exploits. Later Ian Fleming used Reilly as a model for James Bond.〔 Today many historians consider Reilly to have been the first 20th-century "super-spy".〔 Much of what is thought to be known about him could be false, however, as Reilly was a master of deception and most of his life is shrouded in legend.
== Origins and youth ==
The origins, identities and activities of Sidney Reilly have befuddled researchers and intelligence agencies for more than 100 years, and much of his purported life and many of his notorious exploits should be cautiously examined. Reilly himself told several versions of his origins to confuse and mislead investigators: he claimed to be the son of an Irish merchant seaman, an Irish clergyman, and an aristocratic landowner and habitué of the Imperial court of Tsar Alexander III of Russia. According to the Ukrainian newspaper ''Segodnya'', he was born Zigmund Markovich Rozenblum (Rosenblum) on 24 March 1874 in Odessa, then a Black Sea port of the Russian Empire. His father, Mark, was a stockbroker, and shipping agent, and his mother came from an impoverished noble family.
Other sources say that Reilly was born Georgy Rosenblum in Odessa on 24 March 1873 or 1874.〔Lockhart 1986〕 However, in ''Ace of Spies: The True Story of Sidney Reilly'' (p. 28), Andrew Cook states that Reilly was born on 24 March 1873 in the Jewish Kherson gubernia of Tsarist Russia, as Salomon (Shlomo) Rosenblum, and that he was the illegitimate son of Polina (or "Perla"), his acknowledged mother, and Dr Mikhail Abramovich Rosenblum, the trusted first cousin of Reilly's putative father, Grigory (Hersh) Rosenblum.〔Cook 2004〕 There is also speculation that he was the son of a merchant marine captain and the above-mentioned mother.
