As the 2024 elections approach, Russia’s interference in American politics—through spies or agents of influence—remains a troubling reality. Vladimir Putin is counting on Donald Trump’s victory to weaken Ukraine.

Why does Trump almost always support Russia? Is he compromised? Did he betray during his presidency? And why has the Republican Party shifted its stance toward Russia?

Answering these questions means shedding light on a labyrinthine operation of espionage and manipulation. Still ongoing, it began in the final years of the Cold War. While it remains shrouded in mystery, some hold pieces of the puzzle. A former KGB leader, infiltrated “illegals,” a former Trump advisor, former CIA and FBI officials, and a former prosecutor provide testimony.

This gripping investigative documentary, filmed like a spy thriller, takes us deep into Soviet and later Russian infiltrations in the United States.
