The Spy

How did an Ossetian teenager from a poor village become a lieutenant colonel in the Red Army? And afterwards – a world-renowned English scientist? The story of Grigori Tokayev, or Grigori Tokati, holds many secrets. During his service for the... benefit of the USSR, Grigori had to find plans and blueprints for long-range missiles in the war-damaged Berlin after World War II. Pressure from the leadership; clues leading nowhere; his own moral principles and responsibility for his family – all these push the promising scientist towards difficult life choices. To this day, the memoirs of Grigori Tokati are classified, and no one has a definitive answer to the main question of his story: in the interests of which country did this outstanding person work?
