This documentary series is amazing. It's so long and thorough, and they managed to get some really good interviews with some really historically relevant people. Best documentary series I've yet seen.
Apparently the agent that Hall gave documents to had some trouble at the train station in New Mexico. She had put the papers under the Kleenex in an open tissue box. Government agents were questioning and searching everyone getting on the train. She played the role of an innocent, disorganized scatterbrain. First, her train ticket disappeared. Then the zipper on her bag jammed and would not open. The train was waiting and time was running out. People tried to help her. She made it seem like the Kleenex box was hindering her search, so she handed it to an agent on the platform. She then found the ticket and went to board the train as if the box didn't matter. The agent followed Lona (Leslie) and handed the box back to her. Paraphrased from section 4 of: Building the Bombs: A History of the Nuclear Weapons Complex By Charles R. Loeber
The soviets were very good at collecting intelligence and were overwhelmed by what they collected.. But their main problem was that they were so paranoid, they didn't allow themselves to see it and most went unused.
This was a great episode. Actually seeing and hearing people you've read about in books! One hour isn't enough to cover some of the other less famous spies. There's so many fascinating stories. Real spying is actually not that glamourous. It's a boring and routine in most cases. But boy does it is ever have its moments when there's a sudden shift. Their worldview is so completely different. You may have met several spies without ever knowing.
Well, I mean...it’s not like they had all the current pleasures of 2019 back then. You could read a book or watch one of 5 television channels or listen to the radio. Not much going on back then.
Jason in the Hood - Yes; life was rather bleak before ‘Kardashians’, ‘Housewives’, and ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ marathons...’The Kardashians’, in particular, is a great deterrent against the temptations of turning spy.
M.I.C.E (Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego) Some double agents did it for money, or in the early cold war because they were true believers in the other side's ideology, others because they were blackmailed, and some did it as you said for the thrill or to avenge their wounded ego due to being passed over for a promotion or fired and wanted to get even.
If youre a soviet citizen in a bleak way of life and you have the opportunity to live a secret western life of opulence, would you? There were enough ordinary ppl in the east that said yes.
31:53 wow... it's a good plot twist... And people says that good spies histories have only in movies. I really can't imagined this. So sad for her, sometimes the enemy is very near from you, what can ideology does in family structure.
Seriously! When they dropped the line, "Her husband stayed always by her side," I thought they must have said that to honour him, that he had died or something... Then the episode goes on and later they drop the bombshell that HE was the informant in his wife's Stasi file! Cold blooded, dude.
Just a little small comparison ... when american spy was captured by Russians, usually he/she was killed soon or later. In opposite, when the soviet spy was captured by Americans, usually he was sentenced for life or less ..... and he could talk about the subject to the film makers or television. Maybe. he also could write a book, exposing his memories, and making money on them. That makes a huge difference !!!!
Das Boot good point!! this is something that the spies should understand about difference between democracy and communism. And this is relevant also for Islamic terrorists who were born and raised in the West and received Western education. how can they not see minority rights and freedom in democratic countries compared to situation in majority of Islamic countries?

Unfortunately, ths video was made before Robert Hassen was captured, so his name was not mentioned. BTW, when Ames was captured, a KGB agent, for some reasons, stated they had an even bigger mole than Ames. I am not sure why KGB would want to give up Hassen. The reason could be Soviet Union was no more, so Hanssen was no longer needed.

33:30 "knowledge does not imply misdeed does it ? " Lol omission not to act was his contractual duty to the then KGB, imagine he had tried to botch it he would have been a lubyanka occupant.
This episode in particular: filmed and broadcast BEFORE 9/11 and before the latest invasion of Afghanistan by Western powers just demonstrates how crazy is it to undergo military operations in this country! ..... Does no body ever learn from history!!!!! I'm forever 'gob smacked' by history's lessons........ why don't we act on them, rather than just be impressed by the videos/films made about them!!!
the Communists claimed to be anti Imperialist, anti capitalist, anti colonialist and anti what have you, but the discovery by the East German woman that her husband spied on her shows that Communism was also anti marriage 😁
Thanos Infinity Stick to your kiddie comic books and let the real men enjoy this documentary. Man children like you are an embarrassment to what it is to be a real man with your developmental problems stuck in the mindset of a child.
Another moral equivalency moron. Hey snowflake, there are BAD PEOPLE in the world that run countries. They don't abide by "If they be nice to me I be nice to them." Stop talking their are adults talking here.
Eternal memory and eternal glory to all the fighters against capitalism and American imperialism. All of humanity will retain gratitude to ordinary KGB officers and to all who helped them. Long live truth and freedom.
This documentary series is amazing. It's so long and thorough, and they managed to get some really good interviews with some really historically relevant people. Best documentary series I've yet seen.

Great episode. I love learning about cold war espionage. Such a bizarre and fascinating shadow world.
It really is!!

Blake is a cautionary tale of how blind guilt shame and naïveté with out without context can cause someone to betray their country.

How was Hall not convicted?!
Thank you. These are great!
At least I liked the honesty of Aldriech Aims.
He said he just gave up names of agents because other side do so. But his action cause dead and he still alive? And still no regret? Wow
Not to mention money/greed vs ideology. Of which the majority of soviet double-agents spying for the west did so for the latter.
One could argue the difference is trivial, but the bottom line is one is done for greed while the other is done for good intentions (whether those intentions are objectively correct or not).
One thing stands out over the years:
If you're not at active war, and don't want to be at active war, then don't hide your secrets from your enemy too well.
All that kept the world from nuclear war were facts, not assumptions.
Soviets were so good at collecting intelligence for there was such a shortage at home.
From 1998. CIA : We got the Big Mole now, by capturing Ames. FBI: Hold my Beer
Unfortunately, ths video was made before Robert Hassen was captured, so his name was not mentioned.
BTW, when Ames was captured, a KGB agent, for some reasons, stated they had an even bigger mole than Ames. I am not sure why KGB would want to give up Hassen. The reason could be Soviet Union was no more, so Hanssen was no longer needed.
Just to point out, the KGB was formed in 1954. So the secret service at the time during the explosion in Los Alamos was NKVD

"I love treason but hate a traitor"
MICE - money, ideology, conscience, ego.
33:30 "knowledge does not imply misdeed does it ? " Lol omission not to act was his contractual duty to the then KGB, imagine he had tried to botch it he would have been a lubyanka occupant.
so much for bathroom privacy You can't even take a piss without being seen
Great docu Vasile! Cheers!
>Theodore Alvin Holtzberg was born in Far Rockaway, New York City to a devout Jewish couple.
EVER.
SINGLE.
TIME.
This episode in particular: filmed and broadcast BEFORE 9/11 and before the latest invasion of Afghanistan by Western powers just demonstrates how crazy is it to undergo military operations in this country! ..... Does no body ever learn from history!!!!! I'm forever 'gob smacked' by history's lessons........ why don't we act on them, rather than just be impressed by the videos/films made about them!!!
Is it just me, or did anyone else think Jaws was nailing Kim Philby's coffin?
Blake is unbelievably still alive and living in Russia.
Not any more
Disgusting little traitor
Well written.
"colonel oleg penkovsky is a great american patriot" yeah right ,just like how george blake,aldrich ames and robert hansen are great soviet patriots
George Blake was, at least doing it out of shame for what he saw as injustices!
Oleg Penkovsky was a very brave man who loathed what the communist dictatorship was doing to his country.
@@rolandacevans He was a man frustrated about not getting a promotion
@@pratikgore6536and if you watched further he also was worried that his leader would destroy the world.....
How many ppl died bec George Blake's betrayal? How many were tortured?...
the Communists claimed to be anti Imperialist, anti capitalist, anti colonialist and anti what have you, but the discovery by the East German woman that her husband spied on her shows that Communism was also anti marriage 😁
Blake was so important to the USSR they did not inform their own embassy for one year.
hahahahahahaha arm-lock I think they meant to say headlock
It's a super secret Judo move known only to the most highly trained of KGB agents.
Treason is a fools paradise!
I wonder why Perseus wasn't mentioned here.
Was Penkovsky decorated?
How secretive is these operations
Hail Hydra
Thanos Infinity Stick to your kiddie comic books and let the real men enjoy this documentary. Man children like you are an embarrassment to what it is to be a real man with your developmental problems stuck in the mindset of a child.
But......you are a serial killer in a hockey mask
A war that you lost my friend
Which year was this doc made?
98, I think. Lots of archived interviews from earlier years, though.
60y circle
Ted Hall should not have been allowed to live
amendment away inflation rate sacred starting control t-shirt echo.
Ted hall should’ve fried like the Rosenbergs
Wow, you really missed the point of the "Reds" episode, huh?
@@LoneKharnivore read the constitution where it talks about treason
so bad that they forgotten the history of Naked Snake, Adamska and Eva... HAHAHA
Double agents are despicable creatures. Ego driven self absorbed with their own importance
29:27 WTF they gone to far
Who was better:
Like: Western Intelligence (CIA/Mi6)
Dislike: KGB
How were all of these people able to do these interviews without being executed?
Lol. This was before Putin's revenge.
This was before Putin's revenge
What are you talking about, I truly do not understand your comment.
The Cold War is over now.

dog is a dog lol
I don't understand why cremation is so looked down upon. It's less disrespectful than letting the body get devoured by maggots underground.
This is considered paganism in all Christian countries. Well, for Catholics, maybe this is normal; you have long since become cannibals
Spys are a good thing, no one should have greater power over another.
Another moral equivalency moron. Hey snowflake, there are BAD PEOPLE in the world that run countries. They don't abide by "If they be nice to me I be nice to them." Stop talking their are adults talking here.
Please tell me she divorced her husband.
Hall is a traitor.
20:51

17:35 That Hair! Lmao
2:21, Ted Hall was a traitor.
2:21, Tim Hall was a traitor, because the U.S.wouldn't have used the bomb against the Soviet Union.
The US is the only country that ever has used nuclear weapons on an enemy,
Thank you Russia for your excellent missile systems : with love from India
Prasanna Chitnis as Deng Xiaoping said "what does it matter if the weapon is American or Russian, as long as it stops Pakistan's nuclear blackmail"😁
waste of fucking money. !
Eternal memory and eternal glory to all the fighters against capitalism and American imperialism. All of humanity will retain gratitude to ordinary KGB officers and to all who helped them. Long live truth and freedom.
Enjoy the platform you can say these things on. Brought to you by American capitalism. Get bent
the CIA sucked compared to the KGB
