St. Petersburg was built as Russia's window to Europe. Through a spy's eyes, every window looks both ways.In this volume of The Espionage Atlas, P.J. Agness walks the reader through the hidden geography of imperial power, secret police, revolutionary rooms, informants, prisons, foreign eyes, and files that outlived the people inside them. From Peter the Great's city of command to the Third Section, the Okhrana, Yevno Azef, and the shadow before the Soviet security state, St. Petersburg becomes more than a beautiful city of palaces, canals, and cold river light. It becomes the place where Russian power learned to watch itself.Not spy fantasy. Not a tourist guide. A city seen through a spy's eyes.
