About the book: 2024 / In the new book of the famous writer, three-time winner of the SVR literary prize named after E. Primakov, the reader will discover previously unknown names of our illegal immigrants: Hero of the Soviet Union Evgeny Kim, Colonel K. - Vladimir Lokhov, as well as Boris Pribytkov, whose name has not been mentioned until today. Their personal files were declassified by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service specifically for this book. Annoyingly little was known about two more illegal immigrants - Maria Dobrova, who died in the United States, and Hero of the Soviet Union, atomic intelligence officer Arthur Adams. Now this gap in the history of Russian intelligence has been filled. The reader will also learn a lot about his comrades in atomic intelligence - Heroes of Russia Leonid Kvasnikov and Anatoly Yatskov. The author also continued the story begun in “Legendary Scouts-3” about the first Hero of the Soviet Union among the entire post-war generation of intelligence officers, the now living Vladimir Gorov. It would seem that everything is known about the Hero of the Soviet Union Ramon Mercader, who eliminated Trotsky. But in the chapter about him, the floor is given to the intelligence officer who worked with him and has lived to this day. Intelligence would be unthinkable without our agent friends such as the Frenchman Georges Puck, the Americans Edward Lee Howard and Joel Barr, aka Joseph Berg. New facts and unknown episodes about their work are also given in the book.
