Description: The story of the Russian ballet dancer Marina Alexejevna Goubonina who came to Oslo, Norway in 1934 with her Norwegian husband Einar Andreas Lie where she opened a ballet school. During the German occupation of Norway, she allegedly became involved as a spy for Germany, working for Beo Bendecke (her name spelled differently at varying times as, Marina Alekseevna Gubonina or Guobonina). In 1937 she moved to Barcelona, Spain where she married José Travaglia Marzá (still married to Lie) and took up her ballet career under the artist name of Marina Noreg. She died there on September 22, 1976.
