Advertise on The Redefector

This story starts in 1985, the so-called “Year of the Spy.” The US was losing Russian assets left and right. The first three seemed like bad luck... but four? That’s not luck — it’s a leak. And as the Agency scrambled to find it, across the world in Rome, a KGB colonel named Vitaly Yurchenko walked into the American embassy and asked to speak to a man named David Shorer. He wasn’t a diplomat: he was a CIA officer under official State Department cover, and their meeting would set in motion one of the most dizzying High-stakes espionage debacles of the last century. The story of Yurchenko also collides with the actions of the biggest American traitor in US history. This is the full and untold story of Vitaly Yurchenko, The Redefector.
