The true story of the spy Oleg Antonievich Gordievsky who brought the Soviet way of thinking to the West.
On a warm afternoon in July 1985, a middle-aged man stood on the sidewalk of a busy avenue in the heart of Moscow, holding a plastic bag. He was wearing a gray suit and tie - just another ordinary Soviet citizen. Only the bag stood out, as it bore the logo of the British supermarket Safeway.
This man was a high-ranking officer of the KGB, but he had caused more damage to them than anyone else, as he was actually a spy for MI6 and for over a decade had been supplying the British with a wealth of invaluable secrets from the Soviet intelligence services. The Safeway bag was the signal to put his escape plan from Soviet Russia into action.
This was the beginning of one of the most daring and unusual episodes in the history of espionage - a story of betrayal, deception, and unparalleled courage that forever changed the course of the Cold War.
