Does anyone know of any Soviet espionage novels? The big dumb war nerd in me is wondering if there’s a Soviet equivalent of Tom Clancy, like where someone from the KGB goes and convinces a US submarine to defect in order to prevent a nuclear attack on Cuba

    This isn't a useful comment but I saw this Chinese drama called "Lost in 1949" in which the protagonist is a communist spy, before the revolution. Its a really cool premise but after the first couple episodes it turns out that the two leads are both have wealthy families who live in the same snooty neighborhood and they both go back to live with them and then the plot basically resolves around boring rich people drama, and the plot stalls so bad that the whole spy premise ends up feeling like little more than an elaborate meet-cute. First couple episodes were alright, possible that it got better after I dropped it but I doubt it.

    So, uh, don't watch this show that isn't what you asked for and that you wouldn't have heard about if I hadn't told you about it. You're welcome for my service.
