One of the main problems of the Soviet state was defectors. Both large military leaders and commanders of companies, platoons and batteries fled to the enemy with valuable operational materials. Whole Soviet units crossed. Artists, writers, philosophers, assistant leaders, singers and ballerinas, pilots, sailors and just workers fled. Even former members of the Board of the Cheka fled from the Land of Soviets... The book tells about the fate of four traitors to the Motherland: the head of the NKVD in the DVK G.S. Lyushkov, who fled to the Japanese; GRU personnel officer Major General D.F. Polyakova, who served the US intelligence services for almost 25 years; spy A.N. Filatov; CIA agent A.G. Tolkachev.
