The story of Vladimir Vetrov, codename Farewell, the Soviet officer whose leaks exposed the enormous KGB operation to steal Western technology wholesale during the Cold War. I love this one because it is a conspiracy inside a conspiracy, a spy betraying the spies who steal. Vetrov's files let the West quietly poison the pipeline of stolen tech. Presented as sleep content, but do not doze off, this is one of the great espionage stories.

In this detailed historical exploration, we examine the life and impact of Vladimir Vetrov, codename Farewell, a Soviet engineer and intelligence officer whose actions exposed the scope of industrial espionage during the Cold War. Drawing on declassified files, surveillance records, and intelligence reports, this documentary traces how Vetrov provided Western agencies with an unprecedented view of Soviet technological theft and the inner workings of the KGB’s Line X division.
