A publicly retired KGB agent is the perfect cover for a KGB agent 👀

"I made the mistake of aceing my entire university course" is something I'll never be able to say.
-
I'm reminded of the Game of Thrones quote: "If you're a famous smuggler, you're doing it wrong." and I feel like that quote applies to spies and agents as well.
-
KGB spy: goes to college in the US and aces the entire program. US counter-intelligence: This guy can't be a normal American
-
“Russian spies don’t wear leather jackets” well there goes pretty much every movie ever made.
-
he had me at "I made a big mistake, I went to college" and lost me at "and aced the whole program"
-
"The KGB had a very murderous history." Well yeah, but in fairness it's not like the CIA was squeaky clean either.
-
"That's the way my house was searched" - so deadpan.
-
Espionage is boring. If it gets exciting, it's gone horribly wrong.
-
"The Americans won't torture you" Thanks guy who switched sides. I definitely believe you.
-
I love how he admits the fact that there were very different areas of the KGB (or any agency) so there was a tonne of stuff he didn’t know.
-
“That looks unprofessional, why are you running?”
-
Plot twist: this is actually the CIA Chief of Disguise again
-
I've watched 9 of these 'professional spy critiques movies' in a row. I'm a spy now.
-
"They will not torture you" Nah, they will only use "enhanced interrogation"
-
KGB agent disliked a movie for not portraying the professionalism of the FBI
-
You can clearly see him taking a few seconds to think about what he’s gonna say because he knows “I say one thing I shouldn’t I ain’t gonna wake up next Thursday”
-
The godfather of his child is the FBI agent next door, pretty wild, recommend reading his wiki. Great clip.
-
"That's the whole point of being a spy. You don't wanna look like one"
