Former KGB spy on dissention and aftermath | History Calls | FULL DOCUMENTARY

While the world knows of the KGB spies and agents who crossed over to the West, few know of this tale of secret dissention from within. There is one officer, Viktor Orekhov, who went from repression of dissidents to joining their cause. After months and months of searching, the filmmaker tracked down Orekhov and now brings his story to the world. In the 1970s, threats to the USSR system not only came from the West but also from within: dissident movements were growing and the KGB reinforced its troops to control the population. Viktor Orekhov was one of the officers in charge of monitoring, collecting evidence and severely punishing the dissidents. Little by little, he was drawn into the world of the people he was working against and begun questioning his own political opinions. He eventually risked his life by joining the dissidents' struggle for freedom. Arrested in 1978, he was sent to the gulag for ten years. Viktor Orekhov now lives in hiding in the United States, cut off from the world, for security reasons. To this day, he cannot set foot on Russian soil.
