Fyodor Kravchenko was born on March 4, 1912 in the village of Unarokovo (now-Mostovsky district of Krasnodar region). In 1913-1925, he lived in Uruguay, then returned to the USSR. He lived in Moscow and worked in the Komsomol apparatus. In October 1936, Kravchenko was called up to serve in the Workers 'and peasants' Red Army. In 1937-1938, he participated in the Spanish Civil war. In 1939 -1941 Kravchenko was in Mexico, on the near approaches to Leon Trotsky. 

At the beginning of the war, Kravchenko was sent to the enemy's rear to perform a special task of the front command. His group established a connection with Grigory Balitsky's partisan detachment, and then worked together with it, committing sabotage on the lines of the Gomel railway junction. For a short period of time, the partisans destroyed 11 enemy echelons, 10 of which were blown up with the direct participation of Kravchenko. From November 1942, Kravchenko's group operated together with Alexey Fyodorov's unit. By 1943, it had grown into The Bogun partisan unit. In July-December 1943 alone, the detachment destroyed 43 enemy echelons on the Kovel-Brest railway, killing more than 650 and injuring about 900 enemy soldiers and officers.

By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated may 2, 1945, captain Fyodor Kravchenko was awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the order of Lenin and the gold Star medal for "exemplary performance of combat tasks of the command and for his heroism and courage".

Since may 1945, Kravchenko has worked in foreign Soviet intelligence residencies in Spain, particularly in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona. In 1949, he became seriously ill and was recalled to Moscow. In 1957, with the rank of major, Kravchenko was dismissed to the reserve. He held various economic positions and was actively engaged in social activities. He died on November 19, 1988, and was buried at the Kuntsevo cemetery in Moscow.

He was awarded two orders of Lenin, order of the red banner, two orders of Patriotic war 1-St degree, order of the red Star, some medals and foreign awards.

Fedor Kravchenko ("Klein") - in that strategic scenario, the leadership of the intelligence Agency was only one of the operational links. 

"Klein" was given a difficult task – as a diplomat of one of the Latin American countries to get a job in its representative office in Berlin. The center needed information from the capital of Nazi Germany. But it was difficult to get such documents and get an appointment to the diplomatic service. It took time. And that's what Klein needed. When in 1940 it became clear that the intelligence officer could not get a diplomatic job in the Ministry of foreign Affairs and go to Germany, the Center set him another task: to create an illegal military intelligence station in the country where he was located. The Soviet leadership was more and more interested in the attitude of the United States, Canada, and South American countries to the situation in Europe. The Soviet Union needed reliable allies and partners. Information on this issue became of strategic importance. And Kravchenko started getting it...

Not everything worked out the way he wanted. But things were gradually getting better. Following the recommendations that were given to him in Moscow by the Center's employees, experienced scouts Colonel ya. Bronin and captain M. Polyakova, "Klein" by the end of 1940 created an intelligence group, which included agents "Baker", "Driver", "Professor" and "Sister". Among them were a senior official of the Ministry of foreign Affairs and a high-ranking officer of the Ministry of defense of Mexico. From them, "Klein" received information that the United States began negotiations on the construction of a naval base in Mexico in Tampico and an air force base in Veracruz. He reported to the Center that the Americans are aggressively pushing Latin American countries to create a regional bloc under their control...

Roncero sat in the Los Pinos restaurant and waited for the hour of "H"to arrive. He was supposed to leave the restaurant and go to the meeting place with a man from Moscow at eight o'clock in the evening. Klein didn't know who would turn up. But he hoped that his Manager, Alexey Korobitsyn, whom he had not seen for a long time, would arrive at the meeting....

Korobitsyn, the operational alias "turban", arrived in Latin America somewhat later than"Klein". He became the head of an illegal residency. Fedor is his Deputy. In intelligence, as in any military organization, commanders and superiors are not chosen...

"Turban " and" Klein " met in different countries and different cities, but they worked according to the same plan. Kravchenko knew his leader well – at the same time they were fighting against the Spanish fascists. Korobitsyn was awarded the order of the red banner for his active participation in those events. 

From the first days of his illegal assignment, "Klein" realized that the work of a scout is not much different from the position of a soldier during the war on the front line. This position he felt deeply in Spain. Only now he was alone with the enemy. Moreover, he was not protected from danger, say, as a tankman-armor. He didn't even have any weapons with him for basic self-defense. In a foreign country, dangers were waiting for him at every turn.

However, in this country, no one would have thought that he was a Soviet intelligence officer. Kravchenko was fluent in Spanish, had real documents of a local citizen, and he owned the initiative. In battle, this is the main thing...

In mid-1940, Kravchenko, however, found himself in a difficult situation: in the country where he lived ( Mexico), a new order of military service for all young citizens was approved. Roncero was to be called up for military service. In the Center, this prospect was not provided for in the work of the scout, and he had to find a way out of the situation. And he found it. He managed to get a draft of the presidential decree through his agent who worked in the Ministry of foreign Affairs. After studying it, "Klein" realized that military service can be avoided. To do this, it was necessary to marry a local citizen in advance: family young men were not supposed to be drafted into the army. This circumstance he decided to take advantage of. Having reported his ideas in detail to the Center, Kravchenko asked to be allowed to marry his friend Alicia.

Alexey Korobitsyn supported his proposal. They waited for instructions from Moscow.

As time went on. But there was no concrete response, positive or negative. And the date of signing the new decree on military service was approaching. And when there was a real threat of conscription Roncero in the army, he made an independent decision and without the sanction of the Center married Alicia...This was at the time of the operation to eliminate Trotsky.
