With a radio transmitter hidden in her vacuum cleaner and a homey fire burning in the living room to destroy incriminating documents, Elizaveta Mukasei posed for decades as a housewife while pursuing her real job as a Soviet spy.
Um. This lady had a spy radio vacuum. How cool is that and where can I get one? I wonder if she had a shoe phone or a pen that fires poison darts....
I also wonder if she burned that fire all summer long and the neighbors wondered why there was smoke in the chimney when it was 80 degrees out.
I love it when nutty cold war science fiction stuff turns out to be true.
You can read a whole story about her at The Wall Street Journal.
