Ep. 1 The vengeful spy -- Ep. 2 The spy of the century |
| Summary |
"Story about Vladimir Vetrov, the KGB agent dubbed "The Spy of the Century" by Ronald Reagan. Vetrov was an arrogant, selfish, vodka-swilling man frustrated by lack of promotion and recognition. In revenge, he concocted a plan to reveal KGB secrets to the West that some say provoked the downfall of the Soviet empire. He handed over almost 4000 secret documents, including the complete list of 250 officers stationed undercover in embassies around the world." -- website |
