The Bearpit

In the last days of the KGB, a nefarious plot against the United States threatens to reignite the Cold War


The Soviet Union is in turmoil. With the election of Gorbachev have come new ideas about freedom, compassion, and openness—ideas that leave no place for the dark machinations of the KGB. Reform is coming to the Soviet intelligence service, unless Victor Ivanovich Kazin can stop it.
