The new book by the famous author is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Russian foreign intelligence service INO-PSU-SVR. Its main feature: new, newly discovered heroes, mostly illegal scouts. Some of them, as well as their wives and battle companions, the author knew personally. You will get acquainted with the Hero of the Soviet Union Mikhail Vasenkov, who went into intelligence in the second half of the 1970s, with the Heroes of Russia Yuri Shevchenko and Vitaly Netyksa and several other outstanding intelligence officers, whose exploits literally until the last months were classified as "Top secret", learn the name of the first post-war Hero of the Soviet Union among the scouts. Especially for this book, the personal file of the great Kim Philby and the most important documents obtained by him are partially declassified. You will be introduced to a mysterious illegal immigrant from Berlin, who worked under the operational pseudonym "Topaz", about whom the famous General Markus Wolf (and he is present in this book) said that his real name would never be made public, and the author gives the most frank confession of this fantastic intelligence officer. In Scotland, the author communicated with the prototype of James Bond-Sir Fitzroy Maclean, who worked under the guise of a diplomat in Moscow back in the 1930s and ended his successful career in the 1990s.
