This is John Batchel, a conversation with the author Svetlana Kova, this bio-changed history,

about a Russian agent named Stan Shomovsky, who was a brilliant aeronautical student at MIT,

and then became a promoter of aeronautics, but at the same time, borrowing, stealing, acquiring the aeronautical secrets

before the Second World War, this is the 1930s, and then during the war, conquering all

aircraft that the U.S. was creating during the war fighting.

Also a principle in the stealing of the atomic bomb secrets after the war.

Stanislav Shumovsky also mentioned here is a man named Ganadi Obakmian,

Gekovachmian, a man who is a genuine scientist and one of the founders of the Russian equivalent of MIT.

However, he and Shemovsky run agents, run the agents that steal the atomic bomb, among others.

The couriers that are often named in the atomic bomb theft, Harry Gold, for example, Elizabeth Bentley, work for Ovakmeon and Schumovsky.

They are spies. They run spies. They recruit spies. The spy changed history is the book.

Here's Svetlana characterizing how they did it, how they work together,

Ovakmian and Shemowski.

More of this later.

Yeah, so he would mainly run the Soviet agents who would recruit Americans,

but he would also recruit Americans himself.

So the way it would work is both Shomovsky and the Kamean and the others, they integrated themselves into the U.S. scientific community. So they would attend

dinners, seminars, just meet privately. And for that purpose, so the Kamean published a number of

academic articles. So he had serious academic credentials. He was not pretending to be a scientist.

He actually was one.

And that's how he was able to hang around with the scientists.

But his main role was to supervise other Soviets.
