In the television film Seventeen Moments of Spring, several dozen actors played. And only the stars of domestic cinema. Tatyana Lioznova - the director of the picture - preferred to work exclusively with famous artists. There are many interesting characters in the film, but there are only a few female images: Shtirlitsa's wife, maid, Gaby Nabeul and, finally, radio operator Kat.
The actress, who played the wife of Erwin Keane, unlike the other artists involved in the filming, was little known to the audience. Moreover, she later played only two roles in the movie. What does “radio operator Kat” do today? The actress, only having become famous, disappeared from the Soviet screens. Before you talk about how her future fate took shape, it is worth recalling the heroine of the famous film.
Who is she?
So who is Kat radio operator? The actress who played this heroine had every chance to become famous. After all, this is one of the characters in the famous series. Ekaterina Kozlova (and this is exactly what this lady was actually called) is a scout. She comes from Ryazan.
Katya Kozlova - radio operator Stirlitz. She served as an assistant to the chief Soviet intelligence officer together with her husband Erwin. When the main character of the picture received another assignment, the radio operator Kat was already pregnant. The actress, who played the assistant to Colonel Isaev, became famous after the premiere of the series. Not surprising, because she played one of the most heroic female roles in the movie.
Not a word in Russian …
In one episode, a bomb hits Erwin’s house. Katherine's husband dies, she miraculously survives. The woman is taken to the hospital, where preterm labor begins. A few days before the bombing, Stirlitz warned her that in such a situation, women usually scream in their native language. The radio operator promised to control the situation. But due to numerous injuries and the shock she received, she lost consciousness and uttered several Russian words.
Police officers immediately reported this to the Gestapo. They compared the facts and realized who Katherine Keen really is. The position of the exposed scout is complicated by the presence of a child. Gestapo detainees and begin interrogation. In this case, the child is used as a hostage. But one of the German soldiers does not stand a terrible sight and releases Katherine.
The scout hides for several days until Stirlitz, who returned to Berlin, comes to her. He also organizes the safe departure of Kozlova abroad.

As befits a representative of her profession, Ekaterina Kozlova has an excellent education and even plays the piano well. During one of the meetings, Isaev notes that she belongs to the rare type of women whom pregnancy decorates. To which Katherine says: "Pregnancy makes any woman irresistible."
