Hi Everyone:
I just read the new book out about the history of the CIA. Won a Pulitzer and is by a NY Times reporter, so I know it is accurate.
In this book, the author talks about a Soviet Spy, Admiral Nicholas Shadrin, who some think, was a double agent for the US/Soviets. He was standing on the steps of a Church in Vienna and then was kidnapped and taken across the border into Czech.
This was sometime in the '70's.
Anyone on our blog ever hear of this?
Of course, you all weren't probably on this earth then, but just thought I would ask. It is some type of well-known Viennese rumour.
Cheers

Hey Duncan,
yes, this is a true story. All the CIA and KGB spies hung out in Wien since it is a neutral country, they still do!
Admiral Nicholas Schadrin was a Soviet Admiral who defected to the US and then was taken to Wien and was kidnapped from a Church in Wien back to the Soviets or to defect to them. Cant find the name of the Church. He was taken to Czecholvanie and then killed there or sent ot a gulag in Russia. This was in the 1970's.
Do a search on Google and tell me what you find, Duncan.
