The Spy

How did a young Ossetian boy from a poor village rise to become a lieutenant colonel in the Red Army? And later – a world–renowned British scientist?

The story of Grigory Tokayev, or Grigori Tokati, is shrouded in mystery. During his service for the Soviet Union, Grigory was tasked with locating plans and blueprints for long–range rockets in the war–ravaged ruins of Berlin after the Second World War.

Pressure from superiors, dead–end clues, personal moral principles, and the burden of family responsibility – all of these forces pushed the promising scientist towards difficult life choices.

To this day, the memoirs of Grigori Tokati remain classified, and no one has a definitive answer to the central question of his story: in the interest of which country did this remarkable man truly work?

The novel The Spy unveils the chronological events of those times, allowing each reader to draw their own conclusions.
