Description
The Compatriots: The Russian Exiles Who Fought Against the Kremlin The history of Russian espionage is marked by a complex web of relationships between the country's expatriates and the Kremlin. From the late 19th century, when Russians fled persecution and revolution, to the present day, émigrés have played a significant role in the country's intelligence networks. This history is one of bloodshed, from a 1924 incident in Romania to a 2017 attempt to poison a former KGB colonel in England. Russian émigrés have been at the center of the country's espionage efforts, with many becoming assets for the resurgent Russian nationalist state. Others have taken up the dissident challenge, often at great personal risk. The story of these individuals is one of score-settling around the world, from the early 20th century to the present day. This book provides a gripping account of the complex and often fraught relationships between Russian expatriates and the Kremlin.
