94: Michael Goleniewski: Abandoned by the West
This week we’re continuing our theme of spies and espionage this month with a cold war story about not just a double agent, but a triple agent who shared secrets back and forth across the Iron Curtain, before being abandoned by the west and written out of cold war history for decades. He even claimed to have a connection to the former Russian Imperial Family who were executed in 1918.
This is the story of Michael Goleniewski, the spy who was abandoned by the West.
