They appear to be ordinary neighbors. What nobody knows is that they are Russian spies under false names, so-called illegals. Their double life goes well for years - but then they are discovered.



Who betrayed them? Who are these people really? How much damage was done to Germany? And are the Anschlags perhaps not the only ones - is Russia still planting spies with false identities in the West?


"Die Anschlags - Russlands Spione unter uns" is a six-part podcast by WDR and NDR. You can listen to it in the ARD Audiothek. The authors spent more than a year researching. They investigate the double life of an espionage couple called "Anschlag".

They drive across Germany, visit neighbors of the spies, talk to ex-illegals and travel to Austria and the Netherlands. They talk to constitutional protection officers and secret service experts about the Anschlags and the deployment of other Russian spies in today's Europe, which is characterized by the war in Ukraine.


Insights and research into the invisible front and the current threats posed by intelligence services.
