Скачать или смотреть How a CIA Agent Fooled the Entire KGB Through the Streets of Leningrad

Leningrad, 1983. The KGB has turned Professor Anatoly Fedorov’s life into an impenetrable fortress to protect the Kremlin’s most sensitive nuclear blueprints. Every veteran spy who tried to reach him has been executed. Desperate, the CIA makes a move no one expected: they send in a 34-year-old economics professor with only six weeks of training.

This is the story of Michael Harrison, an amateur who attempted the most audacious "long con" of the Cold War. By stepping into the spotlight instead of hiding in the shadows, Harrison gambled everything on a single psychological flaw in the Soviet security machine.

But stealing the secrets was only half the battle. With the KGB closing in, Harrison had to vanish from a locked-down city and survive a 200-kilometer trek through the frozen wilderness. Was it the greatest heist of the decade, or a suicide mission that succeeded by pure luck?
