Shaun Walker: The Spies Next Door

Thought the deep cover Russian spies masquerading as an all-American family in the TV series The Americans were fiction? Not according to Guardian central and eastern Europe correspondent Shaun Walker, who joins us in conversation with Charlotte Higgins. In his secret history, The Illegals, Walker puts a decade reporting from Moscow to good use, revealing, with the pace and intrigue of a spy thriller, Russia’s century-long placing of international agents in extreme, long-term deep cover.
