Description
Thirty years ago, the Soviet TV series “TASS is authorized to declare…” based on the novel of the same name by Yulian Semyonov was a stunning success. The captivating story of how Soviet counterintelligence managed to expose a CIA agent in Moscow won the country. In the book you hold in your hands, there is an attempt to revive that old plot by bringing it into modern realities.
The action of this fast-paced spy detective unfolds against the backdrop of tectonic shifts in the Middle East—specifically, around events in Syria. While preserving the main premise of Semyonov’s plot (the exposure of a CIA agent in Moscow), “TASS is authorized to declare…” goes far beyond that story, investigating many modern issues: political intrigue, international terrorism, the activities of the mafia, and the confrontation between the world’s special services.
Fedor Razzakov is a specialist in the history of Soviet cinema and the author of numerous exciting books about film. In his new novel, he translates familiar images from Soviet spy films into today’s world.
