Documentary on Soviet Defectors

1575

Today I was interviewed by Rustem Safronov (above left), a Russian, a PRA and a journalist doing leg work on a Cold War documentary focusing on Soviet defectors for RT, a Russian television outlet, based in Moscow with ten million viewers. I discussed Elizabeth Bentley. The documentary is scheduled for airing in December. We’ll post a YouTube copy when available.
