In this episode, we welcome Jack Barsky to the show. He is a former sleeper agent for the KGB, author, and Christian speaker. He spied on the US from 1978 to 1988 at the behest of the Soviet Union. After the Cold War, Barsky became a US counterintelligence agent. He details his life and story in his autobiography Deep Undercover. In this interview, we discuss what it was like growing up under Communist control in East Germany, how Communist ideals where ingrained in him and his classmates starting at a very early age, the process of him being observed and recruited by the KGB, what his job as a sleeper agent inside the US entailed, what happened when the KGB thought his cover had been blown, how he got out of the world of espionage, how he became a Christian even though he did not grow up around any kind of Christian ethic, what parents can do to prevent their children from being romanced by Communism, and much more. Let’s get into it…
