Mi padre, un espía ruso

For almost her entire life, Alejandra Suárez lived with her mother in a stormy relationship peppered with secrets, as she refused to reveal any details about who her father was. Willing to find out her origins, Alejandra undertook a titanic investigation that led her to discover that she was the daughter of Aleksandr Ogoródnik, one of the most important spies during the Cold War, contacted by the CIA in Bogotá and captured by the KGB in Moscow. My Father, a Russian Spy is a fascinating story that tells the story of a desperate daughter's struggle to find the truth and her father's unpublished memories, which involve a fierce criticism of communism in the Soviet Union, recovered from among the belongings from his mother. This testimony is a tribute to life, roots, history and memory, but it is also a critical, necessary and absolutely current voice that transports us to a Russia marked by secrecy and authoritarianism.
