Another film in the documentary TV series "Lubyanka" is dedicated to little-known aspects of the career of one of the most successful Soviet intelligence agents, Nikolay Ivanovich Kuznetzov. Long before the beginning of the World War II, Kuznetzov, then an NKVD agent living under a different name, was already receiving invaluable information from the German embassy in Moscow. From this source, Stalin was personally informed about the Nazi plans to launch an offensive against the Soviet Union. During the first few months of the War against the USSR, Kuznetzov undertook special training as a saboteur and was sent far beyond the front line on a mission to assassinate a high-ranking official in the Nazi "Ukraina" Reichkommisariat. |
