Show Notes

The KGB is one of the most notorious intelligence agencies of all time. Though long defunct, how did this Soviet network warp the world we live in today? Seth Thévoz is joined by Mark Hollingsworth, author of Agents of Influence: How the KGB Subverted Western Democracies.


  • “The myth of the KGB being brilliant intelligence gatherers is largely exaggerated.” 
  • “There was a game between the KGB and MI5 over what was really happening.” 
  • “It was about planting doubt, sowing seeds of doubt, to weaken the United States.”
