This is part 2 of our chat with Jack Barsky who spent ten years as an undercover KGB agent in the United States.
He is the longest surviving known member of the KGB illegals programme that operated during the Cold War.
In this episode we talk about his first days in the US, his mission and how he managed build his cover enabling him to live and work as a US citizen. He honestly and candidly talks about the impact his secret life had on those closest to him and the moment of his arrest by the FBI.
