magda (lynn cohen), the ukrainian housekeeper/nanny who was introduced in the third season becomes an ersatz mother figure and a thorn in miranda's side. her attempts to push traditional marriage/motherhood attitudes on miranda are both subtle (buying her a rolling pin "to make pies. it's good for a woman to make pies.") and intrusive (replacing her vibrator with a statuette of the virgin mary). she is friendly to steve even before he and miranda are back together, and adores brady to the point of making a collage of his pictures. magda comes to accept miranda's lifestyle choices and continues working for miranda, even when she and steve move to brooklyn. although miranda is reluctant to accept help, magda makes life manageable for miranda after the birth of brady by serving as both a housekeeper and a nanny.

in addition to the theories that people connected to the revisionist movement are the perpetrators of murder and that it was an intended sexual attack by two arabs there are theories connecting it to the soviet and nazi regimes. one involves goebbels, who supposedly sent two agents, theo korth and heinz geronda, to murder arlosoroff. during her school days, magda ritschel, who later became the wife of joseph goebbels, met and became close friends with lisa arlosoroff, haim arlosoroff's sister. magda met haim at university; they became lovers and she got involved with him in zionist affairs. according to lisa's diary, magda fervently participated in the debates of the group "tikwath zion" on the future of palestine and learnt hebrew. she wore a necklace with the star of david that he gave her as a love token, and they even planned to emigrate to palestine together. however, the relationship ended with the departure of haim, whom magda did not want to follow. in 1921 magda married günther quandt, a rich german industrialist twice her age. in 1929 günther discovered that magda was having an affair, so he separated from her. he went on to divorce magda that same year, but was generous with the divorce settlement. the affair magda was having was with her old boyfriend haim, who had returned to germany. in 1930 magda also began to date joseph goebbels. when haim discovered magda was romantically involved with a senior nazi party member, he flew into a rage, pulled out a gun and fired at magda. the bullet did not hit her, and magda permanently broke off her relationship with haim, despite his pleas and apologies. magda later married goebbels on 19 december 1931, with adolf hitler as his best man. when haim visited berlin, he discovered his old flame arm-in-arm with goebbels. he even came across an opposition newspaper with the headline ‘nazi chief weds jewess’. once the shock had subsided, arlosoroff, so the theory went, began to view magda as his conduit to goebbels to secure the ha'avarah agreement. their old relationship proved to be an embarrassment to goebbels and magda, who were now very much part of the nazi leadership. goebbels took notice of his wife's former jewish boyfriend, and this was why he was “terminated.” magda's former jewish stepfather, richard friedländer, was later arrested on goebbels' orders on june 15, 1938 and sent to the buchenwald concentration camp where he died on february 18th, 1939. the soviet connection was promoted by shmuel dothan in 1991 to counter what the russians considered as a global military plot against them.
