A Most Mysterious CIA Spy Scandal
Asen Georgiev was a Bulgarian lawyer and diplomat who confessed to working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) between 1957 and 1963. In a show trial staged in 1963 in Sofia Bulgaria, prosecutors alleged that he had been paid nearly $200,000 for his services and accused him of undermining the interests of the entire socialist camp by handing over Soviet secrets to the Americans. This article offers a comprehensive de novo analysis of the Ge…

This complex and contradictory compilation preserves examples of efforts to revive chronicle-writing after Ivan’s death and it also provides evidence of a continuing crisis in traditional annalistic recording of the past. Various glitches reveal its complexity as a compilation and collectively expose the cultural gulf…

Though Nikolai Karamzin has been credited with developing the ‘Two Ivans’ paradigm, which emphasizes Anastasiia’s death as the clear, unequivocal dividing line between the good Ivan and the evil Groznyi, he did not invent it. He derived the notion from the only major Russian text about Ivan the Terrible that is still unpublished

It dismisses the notion that Lyzlov was a super editor and argues that a common source provides the most probable explanation for the pattern of similarities between the texts. The evidence analyzed here makes it improbable that the sections of the History of the Grand Prince of…
