Podcasts about KGB

The story of how one man—a librarian for the KGB—became a traitor to the intelligence agency, stealing the most prized Soviet-era archives and smuggling them to the West. Historian and journalist Gordon Corera whose new book “The Spy in the Archive” tells the remarkable story of how Vasili Mitrokhin—an introverted archivist who loved nothing more than dusty archives—ended up changing the world. As the in-house archivist for the KGB, the secrets he was exposed to inside its walls turned him first into a dissident and then a spy; a traitor to his country but a man determined to expose the truth about the dark forces that had subverted Russia, forces still at work in the country today.

MI5 is on its knees at the dawn of the 1970s: Soviet spies are running free around the country and the government won't boot them out for fear of upsetting Moscow. But the danger from inaction is growing because a spy from the KGB's most-secret department has just been posted to London. His name is Oleg Lyalin and he's on a mission to take down Britain's nuclear defences.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Father Hoods crew is back in full effect! This week, DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB dive into the ups, the awkward, and the unexpectedly hilarious moments of dad life. EFN opens up with some tough news that his family pup has a heart condition plus the emotional and financial weight that comes with it.

What happens when you sit down with a former CIA station chief who spent 28 years in the shadows protecting America? In this riveting conversation with John Sipher, we pull back the curtain on the secretive world of intelligence operations and examine the fragile state of American democracy.Seifer doesn't mince words about Vladimir Putin, describing him as a dangerous, manipulative former KGB officer who "is absolutely never above using lies, subversion, trickery, or manipulation to get what he wants." Having worked in Moscow under constant surveillance—where even his bathroom was monitored—Sipher provides a chilling firsthand account of Russian intelligence tactics and why Putin's relationship with Trump should concern every American.But it's Sipher's perspective on our current political climate that proves most illuminating. Drawing parallels between Trump's exploitation of rural-urban divisions and tactics used by authoritarian leaders he witnessed overseas, Sipher explains how entertainment has overtaken substance in politics: "Entertainment wins the day. Donald Trump was a businessman slash entertainer. He's probably more of an entertainer now than he's ever been in his life."Perhaps most moving is Sipher's recounting of foreign assets who risked everything—including carrying suicide pills to meetings—because they believed America represented something special. "These are foreigners in these countries essentially committing treason against their own country to help America. Those are heroes," he reflects, questioning whether America will maintain the moral standing that inspired such sacrifice.For anyone concerned about the future of democracy, national security, or understanding the hidden forces shaping our world, this conversation offers rare expert insights from someone who operated at the highest levels of intelligence. Listen now to hear truths that rarely leave the classified briefing room.https://thesteadystate.org/https://spycraftentertainment.com/john-sipherSubscribe to the podcast and join us as we continue bringing you conversations with remarkable individuals who help us make sense of our complex world.Support the showThe Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter https://wwwJackHopkinsNow.com

Russia's brightest ballet star, Rudolf Nureyev, evaded his KGB minders and defected from the USSR on 16th June, 1961. According to feverish newspaper reports, the dancer dashed towards the barrier, proclaiming in English, "I want to be free," and was swiftly escorted to the airport police station, marking the start of his life in the West. His defection, while fraught with personal sacrifice - including a potential permanent separation from his family and homeland - became a major propaganda victory in the Cold War, highlighting the repressive nature of the Soviet regime. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal how Nureyev's uncompromising dedication to artistic freedom clashed with Soviet norms; discover what his groupies used to chant outside the Stage Door in Covent Garden; and uncover Jerome Robbins' succinct description of his awesome talents… Further Reading: • ‘How Rudolf Nureyev danced to freedom' (The Guardian, 2014): https://www.theguardian.com/stage/dance-blog/2015/dec/14/rudolf-nureyev-dance-to-freedom-bbc-documentary-film • 'Rudolf Nureyev: from small steps to one giant leap' (Financial Times, 2015): https://www.ft.com/content/9fab8b22-9ce2-11e5-8ce1-f6219b685d74 • ‘Margot Fonteyn & Rudolf Nureyev Pas de Deux in LE CORSAIRE' (1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IYUS63agQ Love the show?

#crimechatwithnatandkat bring you Episode 134: Code Name TRIGON! In 1977, Martha “Marti” Peterson was the first female CIA case officer to operate in Moscow. By day, Marti was an administrative clerk at the US Embassy. By night, a CIA case officer. Especially in Moscow during the Cold War, the main rule of thumb: trust no one. The method: go unnoticed. The goal: survival. Marti ran a Soviet source, TRIGON--they never met in person and only communicated through dead drops. One night, Marti was ambushed by KGB officers, interrogated, and kicked out of the Soviet Union. How did she get caught? How did the KGB find her? Was TRIGON a double agent?

On this week's throwback episode, DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB sit down with M.C. Serch for a real one! From sharing a birthday with Manny to sharing the mic with legends, Serch brings stories that hit home. He kicks things off with a wild tale about his wife's water breaking on the way to his birthday lunch, leading to their son being born the very next day. Since then, Serch has kept his own birthday lowkey to keep the shine on his son. He opens up about becoming a young dad, deciding to get a vasectomy after baby number three, and always making sure his presence in his kids' lives was felt even while balancing a busy music career. But Serch doesn't stop at just fatherhood. He talks family dynamics, the value of marriage counseling, and how they handled the empty nest phase. He also shares what it was like teaming up with Johnny Marr from The Smiths and how his wife, a huge fan, was completely starstruck.

Paaiškėjus, kad FNTT pradėjo ikiteisminį tyrimą dėl premjero įmonei suteiktos lengvatinės paskolos, konservatorių lyderis Laurynas Kasčiūnas sako, kad sunku įsivaizduoti kaip jis toliau gali eiti pareigas, na o Nemuno aušros vadovas Remigijus Žemaitaitis sako, kad tai netrukdys Paluckui toliau būti premjeru.Tyrimas atliekamas dėl galimo kreditinio sukčiavimo. Pasak FNTT, šioje ikiteisminio tyrimo stadijoje įtarimai niekam nepareikšti, ikiteisminį tyrimą organizuoja ir jam vadovauja Europos prokuratūra.Seimas po pateikimo pritarė siūlymui, jog gydymo įstaigos negalėtų imti papildomų priemokų už valstybės finansuojamas paslaugas.Seimas imasi svarstyti „Nemuno aušros“ frakcijos seniūno Remigijaus Žemaitaičio siūlymą paviešinti neprisipažinusius buvusius KGB bendradarbius.Valstybės kontrolė sako, kad visuomenės rengimas neginkluotam pilietiniam pasipriešinimui šiuo metu yra nepakankamas.

Richard Feynman once dubbed turbulence “the last unsolved problem of classical physics.” Beyond the Navier–Stokes equations, no comprehensive statistical framework exists to predict how fluids spin, eddy, and cascade energy—whether in galactic jets, ocean currents, or the swirl of your morning coffee. But that might all be changing. In this episode, I sit down with theoretical physicist Sasha Migdal, who emerged from retirement with a bold, loop‑equation approach to turbulence. His formalism recasts the Navier–Stokes equations as an infinite number of linear, readily solvable equations that track circulation around closed loops in the fluid—offering, for the first time, a tractable statistical framework for chaotic flow. We chart Sasha's remarkable journey: from a promising career at the Landau Institute and Russian Space Institutes, where he resisted KGB pressure to compromise his work, to his defection to the United States in the late 1980s. We discuss his time outside of physics, and then delve into his return, and his novel approach to solving Navier–Stokes.  Since we recorded, his theory has advanced rapidly. A rigorous proof now shows that it is the solution  to the Navier–Stokes (NS) loop equation. The theory has also been extended to magnetohydrodynamics and turbulent mixing. Recent large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS) match the theoretical predictions with even greater accuracy.  ►Watch On YouTube: https://youtu.be/BNORi7mxxzg ►Find out more about Sasha's work here: https://alexandermigdal.com/ https://sashamigdal.github.io/TurbulenceDuality/index.html ►For a more technical overview of Sasha's work you can check out his recent talk at the IAS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgvGA6q7oPY  

In March 1992 in Vilnius, Lithuania, an old man walked into the recently established British Embassy, holding a bag containing sausages. But those sausages were concealing documents liberated from the KGB archives in Moscow, and the old man was Vasili Mitrokhin, chief archivist of Russia's secret police. His defection provided the West with vast amounts of material that provided information on the Cambridge Spy ring, but also ongoing operations including the Illegals – Soviet moles burrowed deep inside American society. Gordon Corera joins to discuss his new book The Spy in the Archive. Gordon is speaking to me as part of the Chalke History Festival, which runs from 23rd to 29th June.

Operation Spinnennetz – so lautete der Deckname für einen ukrainischen Drohnenangriff, der die Welt in Staunen und der strategischen Bomberflotte Russlands einen schweren Schlag versetzt hat. Wie stark die Auswirkungen dieser von langer Hand geplanter Geheimoperation sind, wie sehr sie den Kriegsverlauf und die Friedensgespräche beeinflussen können, analysiert Co-Host Astrid Corall. Im Gespräch mit Host Kai Küstner wird auch klar, warum der Vergleich mit ‚Pearl Harbor‘ historisch schief ist. Astrid berichtet außerdem über die zweite Gesprächsrunde von russischen und ukrainischen Delegationen in Istanbul. Vereinbart wurde ein Gefangenenaustausch, doch eine Feuerpause ist weiter nicht in Sicht. Doch nicht nur in die Türkei, nach Murmansk und Irkutsk, sondern auch in die USA wandert der Fokus dieser Sendung: Diese Woche will Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz erstmals US-Präsident Donald Trump besuchen. Und der Podcast geht einer von Hörerinnen und Hörern in zahlreichen Mails immer wieder gestellten Frage nach: Wie sehr ist Donald Trump eine Marionette Wladimir Putins? Eine Frage, die Kai Küstner im Interview mit dem Korrespondenten-Kollegen Johannes Hano bespricht. Der Journalist hat eine viel beachtete Doku für das ZDF mit dem Titel: „Putins Helfer“ produziert. Er berichtet, dass sich der KGB schon zu Sowjet-Zeiten intensiv um den Geschäftsmann Donald Trump gekümmert hat, ein Ex-KGB-Mann sagt, sein Geheimdienst habe Trump „rekrutiert“. Was das für die USA, was das für uns in Europa und die Ukraine bedeutet, wenn sie von Trumps und Putins zum Teil übereinstimmenden Interessen in die Zange genommen werden, kommt ebenfalls in dem Interview zur Sprache.  Lob und Kritik, alles bitte per Mail an streitkraefte@ndr.de Link zur Doku von Johannes Hano “Putins Helfer”: https://www.zdf.de/video/dokus/zdfzeit-106/putins-helfer-100 Tagesthemen-Interview mit US-Senator Lindsey Graham zu US-Sanktionen: https://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/sendung/tagesthemen/video-1472746.html Alle Folgen von “Streitkräfte und Strategien” https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast2998.html

Het is 45 jaar later, maar de gebeurtenissen in de wereldpolitiek van 1980 zijn verbluffend en leerzaam voor het heden. Vlak voor de cruciale NAVO-top en de daaropvolgende EU-top gaan we op bezoek in het Kremlin van toen en naar de ruige bergpassen van Afghanistan en het Vaticaan – met ook toen een nieuwe paus uit een bijzonder land. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger over de paranoïde, dementerende leider in het Kremlin, Leonid Brezjnev. Het dagboek wat hij bijhield werd steeds leger. Zijn bewind werd verlamd door de woeste baarden van de Moedjahedien, een wegzakkende economie die olie en gas rijkdom verspilde en door angst voor een kleine, gisse kettingroker in Beijing. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De jeugd in Moskou verveelde zich en keek jaloers naar de welvaart en vrijheden van leeftijdsgenoten elders. In het Westen maakte 'Eurosclerose' en verdeeldheid plaats voor 'één stem' en dynamiek. En een nieuwe paus riep: "Weest niet bevreesd!" In het bijzonder tegen zijn landgenoten en alle onderdrukten in het Oosten. De inval in Afghanistan in 1979 bleek direct al een rampzalige onderneming. Het kwam tot oneindig bloedvergieten, zware materiële verliezen en enorme schade aan de reputatie van de supermacht die hier in het drijfzand van de oorlog ten onder ging. Hoe kwam het tot die militaire ramp? Waarom maakte het Kremlin zo'n grote fout en waarom durfde niemand daar ermee te kappen? Brezjnev verpestte zo niet alleen zijn grote trots, de Olympische Zomerspelen in Moskou, maar ook de relatie met Washington. Afghanistan ruïneerde de herverkiezing van de Amerikaanse president Jimmy Carter, Brezjnevs droom van wereldheerschappij samen met Amerika en de faam van technologische superioriteit van de Sovjeteconomie. Vilein sloot China's Deng Xiaoping een alliantie met Amerika, Arabische landen en islamitische strijders - gefinancierd door rijke families als Bin Laden - om Moskou verder in het verderf te storten. Zelfs vazal Saddam Hoessein in Bagdad trok zich van Brezjnev niets meer aan en begon zijn eigen oorlog. Het bewind in Moskou was in verval, wereldwijd. Al in 1968 had KGB-chef Joeri Andropov gewaarschuwd dat de economie op instorten stond. Maar Brezjnev gokte liever op het gasgeld en stopte diens memorandum in de diepste la van zijn bureau. Toen Andropov hem 1982 opvolgde was het te laat, ook de chef van de geheime dienst was zwaar aan het aftakelen. Hij promootte nog jonge protegés als Gorbatsjov, Jeltsin en Poetin, maar zijn beleid stokte in repressie. Hij stierf al snel en zijn opvolger, de bureauchef van Brezjnev Konstantin Tsjernenko, was een nog korter leiderschap beschoren. De oorlog ging voort, het bloedvergieten was vreselijk, het Russische Rode Leger bleek zwak en ouderwets. Deng opende de poorten naar het Westen en China nam een finale voorsprong als nieuwe tijger van de wereldeconomie.De nieuwe Kremlinchef, Michail Gorbatsjov, kende die poorten naar het Westen. Hij had incognito rondgereisd en in Frankrijk een paradijs voor de arbeiders, welvaart, overvloed, openheid en culturele dynamiek ontdekt, waar Moskou geen idee van had. In Londen ontdekte hij een felle discussiepartner. Maggie Thatcher, met wie hij ongeremd kon bekvechten.Maar ook hij was te laat. Een nieuwe generatie westerse leiders trad aan. Van Helmut Kohl tot Ruud Lubbers en Ronald Reagan. De Europese Gemeenschap bloeide op, terwijl Moskou en de DDR het ravijn van een bankroet zagen opdoemen. De Afghaanse oorlog bleef een bloedende wond tot Gorbatsjov de aftocht blies. De paus en de Polen zorgden voor een revolutie. De Muur viel. De analogieën met vandaag zijn adembenemend. Zelfs de obsessies van de leiders in het Kremlin en hun vernedering door China lijken op elkaar. En ook hoe Europa zichzelf hervindt en een nieuwe paus ineens zijn stempel drukt. De smoezen van Sergej Lavrov om Leo XIV buiten de deur te houden zijn bijna lachwekkend herkenbaar. En Donald Trump? Die is geen Reagan of George Bush senior. Trumps lijn lijkt nog het meest op die van Richard Nixon en zelfs van Carter.***Verder lezenSergey Radchenko - To run the world (Cambridge University Press, 2024)***Verder luisteren508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel' Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne469 – Nieuwe kruisraketten in Europa?

Who killed JFK? What forces made the mind and actions of Lee Oswald? And what does it mean to be an agent of history or something called fate? DDSWTNP probe these and other big questions in multiple new episodes on Libra released over the coming month. June may be the time of Gemini, another sign of doubles in the Zodiac, but for us it's a month for the balance scale, tipping one way or the other, with some Librans like Lee not balanced at all but (as David Ferrie puts it) “somewhat unsteady and impulsive . . . Poised to make the dangerous leap.” In Episode 25: Libra (1), we discuss where DeLillo began in the 1970s in his build-up to Libra, as far back as Americana and other early novels' mentions of JFK, Oswald, the CIA, and the overwhelming Warren Report. We examine what makes DeLillo's Oswald a great but frustrating character and a portal for new dimensions in the author's examination of language, naming, and self-making. We ask what's behind the clear shifts in style, tone, and humor DeLillo makes for this historical novel, as well as the power of his place/date chapter structure, the influence of existentialist fiction, and some alternate titles he considered. And we begin working our way through all the figures and ideas surrounding Oswald, from Marxist beliefs and CIA practices of “unknowing” to Cold War obsessions with the Bay of Pigs, life in the U.S.S.R., and a losing war in Vietnam that DeLillo and readers know is coming but his characters importantly don't.  Stay tuned in our Libra episodes to come for investigation of the Murray-like wit of David Ferrie, how DeLillo regards the lone gunman theory, the mysterious edits made to his “Author's Note,” the theological musings of Nicholas Branch, and much more. Texts and historical figures mentioned in Episode 25: Ann Arensberg, “Seven Seconds” (1988), in Thomas DePietro, ed., Conversations with Don DeLillo, University of Mississippi Press, 2005, 40-46. Don DeLillo, “American Blood: A Journey Through the Labyrinth of Dallas and JFK.” Rolling Stone, December 8, 1983.

No claim about DeLillo's basis for Kirilenko/Broda, but here is information on yet another shadowy figure, defecting KGB agent Yuri Nosenko, who claimed to have been in charge of Oswald's case file in the Soviet Union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Nosenko

Grab your passports and sharpen your skates, comrades—because on the latest episode of Cinematic Underdogs, we're defecting straight into one of the most Cold War-adjacent sports docs ever crafted: The Russian Five! That's right—we're back and chatting about the real-life Red Dawn that hit the NHL when the Detroit Red Wings recruited five elite Soviet hockey players straight outta the Iron Curtain. Envision The Mighty Ducks facing-off against Mission: Impossible—missing teeth, Russian camaraderie, KGB henchman lurking in the shadows. The doc goes far beyond hockey, though—tapping into Cold War dynamics, draft day auspiciousness, and an on-ice revolution, whizzing by on skates.Sergei Fedorov, Slava Fetisov, Vladimir Konstantinov. Slava Kozlov, Igor Larionov: this legendary group of Soviet-born ice-skating assassins redefined line chemistry and international talent acquisition with slap shots hard enough and accents thick enough to leave opponents dizzy. They brought a USSR-informed brand of hockey to the NHL (emphasizing puck possession, short passes, constant motion, & a deep understanding of spatial awareness) and quickly revolutionized the NHL in the 90's with a fast, fluid, & cerebral style of play, ending Detroit's 42-year Stanley Cup drought with a championship in 1997—and again in 1998 (albeit without Konstantinov, who was paralyzed in a tragic limo accident just days after they hoisted the cup in '97). In the episode, we slice through everything: top-secret phone calls, high-stakes defections, shadowy figures in trench coats, and yes—the heartbreaking limo accident that nearly shattered the dream team and wore heavily on the players' hearts as they repeated their championship run. From behind-the-scenes espionage to Stanley Cup glory, The Russian Five is so wild you'll think it was ghostwritten by Tom Clancy and coached by Gordon Bombay. So lace up, comrades—because this week, we're dropping the puck on The Russian Five. Let's get Red-y to rumble!

The following conversation was part of the KGB and Western Plots Against the Soviet Union event, hosted by the Hoover Applied History Working Group on on Friday, May 9, 2025. ABOUT THE TALK Stanford associate professor of history Amir Weiner joins Milbank Senior Fellow Niall Ferguson as part of a discussion of the Hoover Institution Applied History Working Group seminar series, previewing his forthcoming book, At Home with the KGB: A New History of the Soviet Security Service. Weiner examines how the Soviet security service-maintained control after Stalin—not through overt violence, but using methods such as psychological pressure, surveillance, and deeply embedded conspiratorial thinking. The conversation explores how the KGB adapted, shaped leadership transitions, and ultimately failed to prevent the Soviet collapse—offering fresh insights into the Cold War era and the mindset of its most notorious alumnus, Vladimir Putin.

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell speaks with veteran Shroud researcher and blogger Stephen Jones, who shares a powerful and controversial theory: that the Shroud's infamous 1988 carbon dating may have been hacked.Jones proposes that Cold War actors, possibly the KGB, altered the data via manipulation of the computer systems controlling the dating process. Drawing from his background in hospital IT and biblical science, Jones explains how the machines used were identical and vulnerable, how the date of 1325 AD was too “perfect,” and why this deserves a serious scientific reconsideration.He also reflects on how his Christian journey intersected with this remarkable artifact and discusses early depictions of Christ that mirror the face on the Shroud. Finally, he discusses how dating the pollen on the Shroud may offer future breakthroughs.Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode delivers a fascinating blend of science, faith, and digital forensics.Click here to view the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJHkMIsNBR0

My Russia reveals CNN's Jill Dougherty's transformative journey from a Cold War-era obsession with Russia to witnessing firsthand the rise of Vladimir Putin and the unraveling of a nation she grew to love. At the height of the Cold War, as a high school freshman, CNN's Jill Dougherty developed an obsession with Russia. Over the next half-century, she studied in Leningrad, traveled across the Soviet Union, lived in Moscow, and reported on the presidencies of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin. Jill's life, and Putin's, intersected. They studied at the same Russian university; Jill was named CNN Moscow Bureau Chief just as Putin began his rise to power. She knew he was a former KGB officer, but she also believed he was an economic reformer. As Putin tightened his grip on the media, she changed her mind. In 2022, reporting from Moscow as Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, she was convinced the leader with whom she once had sympathized was a tyrant threatening to destroy a country she had come to love. My Russia charts Russia's evolution through the eyes of an American with rare insight into Russia, its people, and its leaders.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

What do the KGB and the former CEO of Cincinnati Children's Hospital have in common? At different times, they’ve each looked to a guy named Eugene Litvak for help. He only said yes to Cincinnati — but he saved that hospital more than a hundred million dollars a year. For the last few decades, Litvak – a Soviet émigré with a PhD in math – has been on a mission: save U.S. hospitals from financial ruin, and improve the lives of doctors, nurses, and patients. He says he has just the formula to do it, lots of prominent experts agree, and he’s documented impressive results so far: Financial savings, fewer hospital-related deaths, lower staff turnover, and shorter wait times. But Litvak and his allies are still struggling to convince more hospital CEOs to try his method. We talk with Litvak about his wild life story and how he found the fix that he says could revolutionize American hospitals. And we speak with experts to determine why more hospitals don’t try it.

On this week's episode of the Father Hoods, DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB connected with Hip Hop icon Doodlebug from Digable Planets for a real convo that hits on every level. He opens up about raising kids with wide age gaps, stepping up as a father figure, and the life lessons that came from growing up without a dad.

Rozkrývá praktiky a fungování nebezpečných náboženských hnutí v Česku. Sama za to čelí jejich útokům, sekty přesto hodlá mapovat dál. „S nástupem sociálních sítí jim na to naskakuje stále víc lidí,“ upozorňuje investigativní reportérka Kristina Ciroková s tím, že členům hnutí AllatRa se nedávno podařilo dostat až do Sněmovny. Právě za reportáž o ukrajinské sektě AllatRa, která je součástí celé série textů a podcastů, teď získala Kristina Ciroková novinářskou cenu Nadace OSF za rok 2024 v kategorii analyticko-investigativní žurnalistika. „Měla jsem opravdu velkou radost. A je to i trošičku zadostiučinění za to, co jsem prožívala na podzim, kdy proti mně vedli na Slovensku trestní stíhání právě na popud lidí z hnutí AllatRa. Ne, že bych se nějak přehnaně bála, ale bylo to nepříjemné. A jsem ráda, že si mojí práce všiml i někdo jiný než prokurátoři na Slovensku,“ říká k ocenění s nadsázkou reportérka v Mediálním cirkusu. Ukrajinské úřady označují AllatRu za sektu, která pracuje v podstatě jako trollí farma pro Putinovo Rusko. Vůdce tohoto náboženského hnutí Igora Michajloviče Danilova ukrajinská policie stíhá za vlastizradu a podezírá ho z dalších trestných činů. Ve zmíněné reportáži se Kristině Cirokové podařilo vypátrat Danilova v jeho úkrytu na Slovensku. Za to proti ní hnutí od té doby vede štvavou kampaň. Ta započala zdánlivě nevinným gestem, když vůdce hnutí reportérce zaslal do redakce pugét jako poděkování. „Říkala jsem si, co to má znamenat, jestli to není nějaká výhrůžka nebo něco takového. A krátce na to hnutí AllatRa nejdřív spustilo internetovou kampaň, kde odhalilo konspirační teorii o tom, jak jsem součástí hydry bývalé KGB a vyloženě mě tam v té souvislosti jmenovali. Tím to začalo. A poté následovalo to Slovensko, kdy jeden ze sympatizantů AllatRy podal trestní oznámení a rozjelo se úplně absurdní trestní stíhání,“ popisuje Ciroková.  Reportérku pak přijela do Prahy osobně vyslýchat slovenská prokurátorka kvůli podezření z propagace takzvaného antikultovního hnutí: „V evropském soudním příkazu bylo popsáno i to, že navíc existuje podezření, že já svými články o střelbě na Filozofické fakultě používám takzvaný puzzle coding. Což je opět konspirační teorie, že kóduji lidem mysl tak, aby se z nich stávali masoví vrazi a aby stříleli děti ve školách. Dokonce tam bylo naznačováno, že snad díky mně se zaktivoval střelec, který vystřelil na slovenského premiéra Fica. A to už mi přišlo tak absurdní a bláznivé, že jsem nechápala, proč se české úřady vůbec tou jejich žádostí zabývaly. A proč vůbec umožnily to, abych byla předvolaná k výslechu.“ Nebála jsem se, že by mě zavřeliUkázalo se ovšem, že zmíněná prokurátorka v minulosti za sektu AllatRa sama agitovala. A slovenské úřady nakonec trestní stíhání zastavily. „Nebála jsem se, že by mě zavřeli. I kdyby mělo dojít k nějakému soudnímu procesu, tak jsem si pořád říkala, že Česká republika by mě nevydala. Ale měla jsem strach, že bych třeba nemohla vycestovat,“ přiznává Kristina Ciroková s tím, že velký tlak cítila i její rodina. „V té době jsem měla shodou okolností narozeniny a dostala jsem přáníčko od mé dcery, která mi napsala: mami, doufám, že neskončíš ve vězení.“I přesto, že proruská sekta ve svých útocích neustává, novinářka hodlá ve své investigativní práci pokračovat: „S tím tématem jsem sama taky neskončila, protože to dál nějakým způsobem žije svým životem.“ Co pro ni bylo na reportování o sektách nejtěžší? Jak se dá od takové práce odstřihnout? A proč jí není líto, že pořad 168 hodin skončil? --Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

“People don't need a spreadsheet of reasons to trust you. They don't want another pitch deck. Another promise. Another polished lie. They are waiting for a signal. And what is the most powerful signal: "I see you. I hear you. You matter." Jack Barsky, a former KGB spy, did not learn this in Harvard Business School. He learned it from his tradecraft as a spy. In the Great Conversation, we navigate intention, truth, and trust between the two worlds. And we end with a question about legacy that many of us can learn from.

Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the well known case of “The Dyatlov Pass Incident”. Nine hikers went out into the Ural Mountains, attempting a level 3 hike, hoping to return home in about 16 days, only none made it back. There have been over 75 theories about what happened to maim and kill these hikers, ranging from military, aliens, KGB, natural disasters, murder, infrasound, to so many more. However, over sixty-five years later we still have questions with a closed case and a lot of doubters.Be sure to check out our other podcast recommendations:True Crime Guys at @truecrimeguys on IGStrange & Unexplained at @sandupodcast on IGOur sources for this episode:https://dyatlovpass.com/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/17/has-an-old-soviet-mystery-at-last-been-solvedhttps://www.history.com/articles/dyatlov-pass-incident-soviet-hiker-death-mysteryhttps://www.discovery.com/shows/expedition-unknown/episodes/mystery-of-dyatlov-passDyatlov Pass by Alan BakerDeath of Nine: The Dyatlov Pass Mystery by by Launton Andersonhttps://sanperdidotradingco.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-dyatlov-pass-incident.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/SoLiOdJyCK/mystery_of_dyatlov_passhttps://www.rbth.com/history/332434-official-cause-of-death-of-the-dyatlov-grouphttps://www.cnn.com/2019/02/04/europe/dyatlov-pass-incident-scli-intl/index.htmlhttps://asiatimes.com/2020/07/night-of-horror-russia-closes-case-on-dyatlov-pass-mystery/

Yet another UFO photo is making the rounds, this time courtesy of Lue Elizondo, who received the image form a private pilot. The picture shows what appears to be a large UFO hovering over a field with a large shadow of the craft below. It didn't take long, however, for the image to be all but officially proven as not just a fake but instead a real picture of nothing more than an irrigation circle in the middle of Colorado. In fact, the location has now been marked on google maps as Lue's UAP. In defense of the image, Lue said he shared the evidence from a private pilot, who gave an estimate of the supposed object - 600-1,000 feet wide - before doing any vetting whatsoever: “the photo had NOT YET been vetted.” So why share it? Lue says to bring attention to the need for pilots to have a reporting mechanism for real case of UFO contact. So why not just say that from the start? While evidence of this sort is commonplace, and even defended by cult-UFO enthusiasts, there is a mountain of actual evidence from various militaries, governments, and civilians around the world that are unknown except to the most detailed UFO historian. The Calvine UFO photo is a great example of this. Maybe even a CIA report on a KGB report about a UFO incident resulting in soldiers turning to stone. If real, it's beyond imagination, if fake, it proves what lengths people once went through to hoax. Not anymore. Now all you need is profound ignorance, a willingness to believe anything, and a few con men in the middle to promote it with government approval. This drives many to say, “I actually don't want to believe anymore.” Perhaps that was the real goal all along. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Manny breaks down the rollercoaster of college aid drama, how his daughter didn't qualify for financial help but still came out on top with a solid merit award! They tap into the power of positive mindset, choosing abundance over fear, and the growth that comes from leaning into discomfort. KGB opens up about his son wrapping up 6th grade, finding his crew, and the shift in mindset that comes with leveling up. The Dads also reflect on how community looks different now compared to the past, why their kids aren't too hyped about having friends over, and what's on deck for summer—including KGB's plan to put his son on game with building financial smarts early.

With a career that spans critical roles across the intelligence and national security landscape—including Legal Advisor at the CIA's Nonproliferation Center, Chief Counsel to both the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Executive Director of major Congressional Commissions, and member of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission—Suzanne brings a wealth of insight, wit, and candid reflection.She shares stories from a life spent at the intersection of law, policy, and global security, including unforgettable moments like meeting Gaddafi, leading bipartisan efforts in Congress, and, yes, doing the hokey pokey and singing kumbaya with the KGB. Importantly, we talk about the next generation—how efforts like Girl Security are helping to inspire and prepare young women to lead in national security and public service. It's a conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is delightfully unexpected.Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, stories, and a few good laughs.

In this eye-opening episode, Jim Wallis and Robert P. Jones dive deep into the latest poll data revealing President Trump's unprecedented negative approval ratings within his first 100 days back in office. Discover how Trump ranks as the most unpopular president since World War II at this stage, with a majority of Americans-including 55% of independents-viewing him as a dangerous dictator whose power must be limited to protect American democracy. The discussion also highlights the sharp racial and religious divides in Trump's support, with White Evangelical Protestants largely backing him, while Christians of Color and other faith groups overwhelmingly reject his leadership. Tune in for a compelling analysis of what these numbers mean for America's political and moral future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this eerie and entertaining episode of Mythlok, host Nitten Nair takes you on a joyride through the twisted tale of the Black Volga — a Soviet-era urban legend that blends cold war paranoia, creepy disappearances, and a limousine that may or may not be driven by Satan himself.From the streets of Warsaw to the alleys of Kiev, sightings of a mysterious black limousine sparked fear across generations. Was it a KGB deathmobile? A bloodthirsty nun-mobile? Or just the devil's Uber? We explore real-life incidents, bizarre eyewitness accounts, and wild theories that made the Black Volga a symbol of ultimate doom on four wheels.Packed with dark humor, spine-tingling storytelling, and just the right amount of "what if?", this episode will make you think twice before hitching a ride — especially if the car is shiny, black, and comes with complimentary curtains.Hit play, buckle up, and remember — some legends don't need monsters. Just a full tank and no license plate.

It was 1985, the so-called “Year of the Spy”. The CIA had been losing Soviet assets left and right; the first loss seemed like bad luck, but four in a row? That wasn't a coincidence— it was a deadly leak. And just as the Agency was scrambling to find answers, across the world, a KGB colonel named Vitaly Yurchenko walked into the American embassy in Rome and volunteered his services in exchange for immediate exfiltration to the United States.At the time, Yurchenko was the highest-ranked KGB officer ever to defect to America, and the Agency felt it had hit the jackpot. Instead, his defection would go on to become one of the most dizzying, high-stakes espionage debacles of the last century. Although many of his bombshell revelations were bonafide, a doubt soon began haunting the intelligence community: Was Vitaly Yurchenko telling the whole truth? And if not... What had he been sent to hide?Listen Now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

How many times have you followed a social media account, or reposted information from an account, that's controlled by a Russian Troll Farm? How aware are you of Russia's ongoing (and shockingly successful) attempts to cripple and then topple America from within?
