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
Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but The Year 200 by Agustin de Rojas is a kind of spy thriller set in a future in which global communism has won. It's very readable, even if some of the descriptions of women's bodies could only have been written by a man.
