Agents of the Secret Services Raped and Recruited for 40 Years | A Historical Investigation

An investigative documentary traces the dark history of two KGB informants from Leningrad, whose careers began in the late Soviet era and continued into the Putin era, revealing how they carried out covert operations involving sex, violence, and the persecution of nonconformists. The film examines the influence of these agents on Russian politics, the suppression of queer communities, and the personal tragedies that unfolded as a result of their clandestine activities. Through archival footage, interviews, and excerpts from Tatyana Bazhenova’s \"The Sherry Case\", the story exposes the hidden mechanisms of state terror that persisted for decades. 00:00 — Important announcement 00:45 — The icy breath of St. Petersburg 02:25 — Sex is being punished again in Russia 03:03 — How did the investigation start? 04:04 — Leningrad on the eve of the USSR’s collapse 04:57 — Vladimir Gushchin — eco-democrat 07:22 — Environmentalists in the late '80s 08:17 — Who was Gushchin in the '80s? 10:25 — Gushchin and teenagers in the '90s 14:07 — \"Contact\" center at the St. Petersburg mayor's office 15:00 — The mystery of the film's author 15:43 — Why does no one talk about Gushchin? 16:47 — Have we found the key witness?
