Sergei Kourdakov – The Other Story


Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? My true story, A Rose for Sergei, is about Russian defector, Sergei Kourdakov. In 1972 our worlds collided in Washington, DC. Sergei was ex-KGB. I worked for the Department of Defense. We were both 21 and we each thought the other was a spy. After all, it was Cold War times, and dating an ex-KGB defector was improbable. As our lives intertwined, I did find out what it was like to be watched and followed. And in real life, Sergei understood all too well that the people from his country never forget.
