The story goes, it was a bright spring morning.

 

KGB Col Valery Martynov & Major Sergei Motorin are high-ranking Soviet Intelligence officers.  Yet both are also CIA Spies.  And this will be their last Russian Dawn.  Some might say their execution by the Russian Intelligence Services was an occupational hazard.  Yet their deaths sent a shockwave through America’s Intelligence agencies.  Because they were not alone in being betrayed.

This is the story of Robert Hanssen: an American traitor who systematically dismantled the United States’ network of undercover Soviet agents, from the inside out.
