Today Justin sits down with Laken Pavan. Laken is an 18-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada. In April, 2024, he left Vancouver and traveled to Eastern Ukraine to join a volunteer group there called InterBrigade. Shortly after arriving, he was confronted by agents from the Russian FSB Federal Security Service, who recruited him to work on their behalf gathering information elsewhere in Europe. He first traveled to Denmark and later to Poland, communicating with his handlers online. Laken was arrested not long afterwards in Warsaw and sentenced to 20 months in prison for espionage. He's only recently been released and returned home to Vancouver and is telling his story here now for the first time.Connect with Laken:IG: @laken.caConnect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Subtack: spycraft101.substack.comFind Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show

Elle sera la première impératrice de Rome : Livie n'est pas aussi connue que Messaline et Agrippine, dont on adore raconter les histoires sulfureuses. Et pourtant, issue d'une noble lignée de la République, elle divorce pour devenir l'épouse de celui qui allait devenir l'empereur Auguste. Alors, parfaite et vertueuse épouse romaine ou intrigante, cette Livie qui finira par détenir pour longtemps le pouvoir suprême à Rome ? On s'y intéresse avec Pierre Cosme, auteur de "Livie, Impératrice de Rome" (Presses Universitaires de France) et professeur à l'Université de Rouen-Normandie. Sujets traités : Livie, Pierre Cosme, Rome antique, empereur, Agrippine, Messaline, Auguste, pouvoir, noblesse, intrigue, antiquité Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Mystery at the Kávézó: A Date Turned Detective Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-01-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A kávézó ablakán keresztül az alkonyi napfény megcsillant a Duna vizén.En: Through the window of the kávézó, the twilight sunlight glinted on the waters of the Duna.Hu: Az őszi levelek halk zörejét elnyomta a kávéfőző sziszegése és a szomszéd asztalok halk beszélgetései.En: The soft rustling of the autumn leaves was drowned out by the hissing of the coffee machine and the quiet conversations at the neighboring tables.Hu: Áron egy kicsit feszült volt, miközben egyedül várt.En: Áron was a bit tense as he waited alone.Hu: A kávézóban a levegőben fahéj és sütemény illata terjengett.En: The scent of cinnamon and pastries wafted through the air in the kávézó.Hu: Eszter lassan közeledett, elegáns volt és mosolygott.En: Eszter approached slowly, elegant and smiling.Hu: "Szia, Áron! Ne haragudj, késtem," mondta könnyedén, miközben leült.En: "Hi, Áron! Sorry I'm late," she said casually as she sat down.Hu: Áron mosolyogva bólintott.En: Áron nodded with a smile.Hu: "Semmi gond. Örülök, hogy itt vagy."En: "No problem. I'm glad you're here."Hu: A beszélgetés hamar beindult, Eszter figyelmesen hallgatta Áron művészetről és régi festmények restaurálásáról szóló történeteit.En: The conversation quickly picked up, with Eszter attentively listening to Áron's stories about art and the restoration of old paintings.Hu: Ahogy Áron épp mesélt egy érdekes kiállításról, egy pincér lépett oda hozzájuk, kezében egy borítékkal.En: As Áron was talking about an interesting exhibition, a waiter approached them, holding an envelope.Hu: "Ezt önnek hozták, uram," mondta, majd tűnt is el.En: "This is for you, sir," he said and then disappeared.Hu: Áron meglepődve nézett a borítékra.En: Áron looked at the envelope in surprise.Hu: A múzeum hivatalos pecsétje állt rajta, ahol dolgozott.En: It bore the official seal of the museum where he worked.Hu: Eszter észrevette Áron zavarát.En: Eszter noticed Áron's confusion.Hu: "Van valami baj?" kérdezte érdeklődve.En: "Is something wrong?" she asked with interest.Hu: Áron elmosolyodott, bár az aggodalom árnyéka ott húzódott a tekintetében.En: Áron smiled, though a shadow of worry lingered in his gaze.Hu: "Csak egy kis munkaügy. Nem zavarhatja meg a randevúnkat."En: "Just a little work matter. It shouldn't disrupt our date."Hu: De a boríték ott maradt az asztalon, és minél tovább beszélgettek, annál jobban érezte, hogy a titok nem hagyja nyugodni.En: But the envelope remained on the table, and the longer they talked, the more he felt that the secret wouldn't let him rest.Hu: Úgy döntött, hogy rövid időre elnézést kér.En: He decided to excuse himself briefly.Hu: "Azonnal visszajövök," mondta Eszternek, majd a borítékkal a kezében a mosdó felé vette az irányt.En: "I'll be right back," he told Eszter, then headed towards the bathroom with the envelope in hand.Hu: A mosdó viszonylag csendes volt.En: The bathroom was relatively quiet.Hu: Áron mély levegőt vett, majd óvatosan felnyitotta a borítékot.En: Áron took a deep breath and carefully opened the envelope.Hu: A papíros egy üzenetet tartalmazott: "A következő kiállítás titka a múltban van elrejtve. Kérlek, vizsgáld meg a régi jegyzeteket."En: The paper contained a message: "The secret of the next exhibition is hidden in the past. Please examine the old notes."Hu: Áron először bosszankodott.En: Áron was initially annoyed.Hu: Mégis miért küldené ezt most neki valaki?En: Why would someone send this to him now?Hu: De aztán izgatottság kerítette hatalmába.En: But then excitement took over him.Hu: Kihívást érzett, amit nem lehetett figyelmen kívül hagyni.En: He felt a challenge that could not be ignored.Hu: Visszatért az asztalhoz, és mély levegőt vett.En: He returned to the table and took a deep breath.Hu: "Ez... egy érdekes helyzet," mondta Eszternek, majd elmesélte, mi állt az üzenetben.En: "This... is an interesting situation," he told Eszter, then shared what the message said.Hu: Eszter érdeklődve hallgatta, és a randevú egészen más fordulatot vett.En: Eszter listened with interest, and the date took a completely different turn.Hu: Kettejük között valami különleges kapcsolat alakult ki, ahogy együtt próbálták megfejteni a rejtélyt.En: A special connection formed between them as they tried together to solve the mystery.Hu: A nap lassan lenyugodott, a kávézó fényei ragyogó arany tónusokat öltöttek.En: The sun slowly set, casting the cafe's lights in radiant golden tones.Hu: Áron rájött, hogy a titkok megosztása varázslatos kapcsolatot teremthet.En: Áron realized that sharing secrets could create magical connections.Hu: Boldog volt, hogy megnyílt valakinek, aki értette és osztozott szenvedélyében.En: He was happy that he opened up to someone who understood and shared his passion.Hu: A vékony papír zörögve csúszott vissza a zsebébe.En: The thin paper crinkled back into his pocket.Hu: Nem csak a munkával kapcsolatos rejtély volt az, amit megoldott, hanem annak a kérdésnek is a titkát, hogy miért érdemes megosztani az életét másokkal.En: It wasn't just the work-related mystery that he unraveled, but also the secret of why it is worth sharing his life with others.Hu: Áron ezután máshogy nézett Eszterre, és várta, hogy mit hoz a közös kutatás.En: Áron henceforth looked at Eszter differently and awaited what their joint investigation would bring.
