In the paranoid heart of the Cold War, a KGB defector walked out of the snow and into American hands carrying secrets that would shatter the CIA from within. The KGB Defector Who Triggered the CIA’s Deepest Paranoia tells the true story of Anatoliy Golitsyn, whose 1961 defection ignited one of the most destructive mole hunts in intelligence history.

Haunted by his warnings, CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton became obsessed with the idea of Soviet infiltration, a crusade that turned the agency against itself. Caught between truth and delusion, Golitsyn’s revelations blurred the line between vigilance and madness, reshaping Western espionage for decades.

Drawing from declassified files, intelligence transcripts, and first-hand accounts, this documentary unravels how one man’s defection exposed not only the reach of the KGB but the fragility of trust inside America’s most secret institution. A chilling true story of paranoia, loyalty, and the invisible war fought in the shadows of history.
