67. TRIGON: The Hero Who Betrayed the Soviet Union with Alejandra Suárez Ogorodnik

This week, Justin chats with Alejandra Suárez Barcala Ogorodnik. Alejandra  was born in Madrid in 1975 and currently works in Spain in the medical industry as a disease area specialist. She never knew her father growing up, and her mother told her he was a German mathematician who was killed in an automobile accident when Alejandra was a baby. When she was a teenager, she slowly began to uncover and unravel the truth of her father's identity--and what happened to him. Alejandra's father was Alexander Ogorodnik, also known by his code name, TRIGON. Alexander was a KGB officer who turned on his home country to spy for the CIA after becoming disillusioned with Soviet communism and cruelty. Once betrayed and apprehended, Alexander took his own life with a cyanide pill he had requested from his case officer.Connect with Alejandra:trigonhero.blogspot.comConnect with Spycraft 101:Check out Justin's latest release, Covert Arms, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: spycraft-101.myshopify.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
