he has an incredible eye for n.t. . he once invited me to his antique shop to show some of the boxes he caught from an apartment on science. it's simple the owners were getting rid of things they didn't need. your money and there was only one word syria they gave the boxes to us they say along with the own video camera they said take it we don't need it got up long to properly go to the it. i don't dump there why young. and then. you know which you are off to go away meaning partial or you see order which you move in you comments you have in your clear for a bar out go complaints go on them over the last. hour when you know our lives are pushed you know as i walk over to the show and put on clothes or a last resort to clear with the will almost surely mean you know. when

you lost people don't need to take you. with you. when you immediately know one of the cool couple of course when you're bored. with cubicle learned from almost. an issue of newark when she says. that's how i got these films it was handwritten on the boxes the looking and then step by step i began to unravel the story i read in an old leningrad now some petersburg funny book that once 3 people lived in that exact apartment or he's looking for 1918 his wife and their granddaughter yulia. maryse and so when no longer alive so i found yulia in this photo on social networks and that was the 1st piece of the puzzle that was certainly very slow. the man that had taken the footage of on damascus and had

probably captured eli cohen on film. the. alone would agreed you. ringback got that i mean you know by york you're welcome toto are cooking up a wall you know deal because then you control growth going on little goals and also drug of ideal but this is going to continue. you're going to get this try some of that boom below. cost just so that you want to bring it to the garage. at the moment in the rough spots to. anyone who ever moved to a different apartment knows it's like a natural disaster you'll certainly miss something what kind of care i was that

kind of. like i have a bolo. i found lukins commendation missed on the ministry of defense website the only confirms that her grandfather had been in the military he'd been through the war and was awarded the order of the red star 3 times. as you all and i still see things when they were just heating up the motion it cost us. the store cocktail or. after the war was over but he's lookin graduated from the military academy in leningrad and was sent to syria in the 1960 s. he became a high caliber professional in the area of military communication systems but every time yulia asked her grandfather about his time in syria he dodged the question when your 3 children go to the uk but i'm about to. doesn't and also thank god that

it. didn't that subsistence that even with the overall number of all of the misunderstandings millions look at this don't feel so. normal sleep with someone i didn't wasn't thinking i'd feel make me walk but i think you just know that i know my. focus and it would get in the way with the young in my own insidious like i national storm deal with me that's what we're trying to find out. looking came to damascus just at the time when who ben showed cohen commonly known as even like cohen had been working there a professional spine man in damascus as they called him in the israeli intelligence agency mossad he rented an apartment in the city center right across from the syrian ministry of defense headquarters he had all the talk crosses movements at his fingertips. this is the footage that the

soviet signals office a very slow key and captured on film back in 1963. the crown video camera made in japan was with him throughout his entire trip. this very camera. any soviet film enthusiasm could i mean dream of having won. the leather case preserved its original state. back in 1963 by reese couldn't even imagine him he had probably caught on camera. but he says look in his 45 years old doc suit bras time. and watches no insignia

the soviet union doesn't go public on either about the scale of assistance or types of specialists it sends in these are lukins colleagues soviet offices the u.s.s.r. is steadily expanding its military assistance to syria by 963 there were at least 150 military advisers and the israeli intelligence agency mossad knew about the presence of bodies looking and other specialists in syria as soon as they arrived. the. 50 people. israeli intelligence agent in like cohen did his job flawlessly and was repeatedly praised by his superiors for reporting intel on soviet military assistance it was his 1st task. the 2nd to collect information on syrian troop deployments. in the mid $960.00 s.

multiple intelligence agencies 4th in a decisive battle for syria as in the entire middle east there was an active redistribution of the spheres of influence between the west and the warsaw pact countries serious to the pot being some kind of tug of war between the sides and coups followed one after another in quick succession there was even a joke at the u.s.s.r. defense ministries main intelligence directorate the number of coups in syria is and plus one meaning that no one knew when the next crew would happen to. be. in march 963 the baath party came to power in syria ultimately became a soviet ally it was partially a victory of soviet intelligence. but it set up so says just as i don't know what. you do so i would the society's about it's a minor but i have that slow. and that's

a huge. thing in your. city again it wasn't only a child when he came to damascus with his father leonid medved go officially a tast journalist an officially a soviet intelligence operatives it was his father a soviet spy from whom he got his 1st knowledge about syria it's now possible to speak publicly about it i mean one of the senior. poets of america i need a new post of put on say i'm going to. buy the movie. at the billionaire. however syria did not give up on the blessings of western civilization that is clearly seen in bonnie's locations footage there were american british and french cars on the streets of damascus driven by diplomats as well as spies and military specialists soviet military specialists are

a special cost not only were all of them highly experienced but they've also repeatedly proven themselves trustworthy they would know on returning all of studied history. is a bit of this month lot of the goods into. their number and speciality were established by the local comma the salaries were ample for that time from $1000.00 up to $1200.00 a month that's $10.00 to $12.00 times higher than the soviet average in 6 months you could buy the most prestigious car in the u.s. the. military specialists not only trained syrian army personnel but also provided hardware maintenance. can you give to the means to cheat the e.c. is dumb enough to. still see. us survive any of this shot by a better use loopy and also. captured soviet military specialists can muster on

sympathetic snoozed. you can use them if you do this of civil war was a big mistake yes he said he smoothed a little but signal offices were of particular value but he's lukin worked in an area that turned out to be quite vulnerable to syria. now it's hard to tell how much he was involved in u.s.s.r. intelligence operations but it's perfectly clear that he was around the soviet spies and was proficiency in transmit a signal interceptions the evillest who do but she's been said is the easiest me see the. bullets you could go to. with them plenty of was the point that i will it says that i did ski to some of us all this that i do. he didn't got that of course a lie cohen tried to be as discreet as possible but at the same time there was an undeniably didn't have all spirit about him he lived in damascus under an alias and

believed that he could afford not to be ashamed of either me or acquaintances we mean jill is still a victim blood that blood to. post of us to come. but ups community oh you i see it's all of them is i live by cities each seen here when you go to india in the seas. good be. given that when will you. nor your list of got on the moon as it was at the top skinny of the total newbie you. know even the flip them yes she does the prince chose to seek the. caress even got the 2 she was about he had seen him slip a woman who could well you could see the area. he had begun to trade his powers to the offices of senior syrian officials back in faraway.

teena cohen relied on a syrian military attack i'm in a huff is it made friends with him in buenos aires in the wake of the mash 963 revolution this man returned to his homeland and became president of syria cohen was right to. nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional for just

a few caesar power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on oxy. were in the war in syria has lasted longer than world war 2. who has been suffering the most in this almost an down to long conflict regular syrian people. need is more than the many why for many years you look at the way i see i could see everything with my own eyes and hear the stories of its residents one group in particular russian wives of syrian man be a fossil is a. good they were pleased to look up to it's in his national just like it's.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. i can't show you my faith but i'm going to teach you must or in 9093 this man was

sentenced to death. they could charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with the scent of a $23.00. i doubt that i deserved to be. confined within 4 gray walls he fights using hot turn on to help him to leave dents room. begin to lose no one in the world but that of communal within those guy on the edge of the pool most sure just as i'm a little. become with the fun was due to. start him in good order but i made him a put semir choosing ssion he certainly figured. trying to climb the career ladder

to get out in the war so listen because notion of course is the most emotional because and. he's giving it you go what god got at the statistical to make you good used to keep going to prove you don't believe it is to those who cohen was close to the highest authorities of syria as evidenced by this famous picture of him standing on the roof of the prime minister's residence one more could this teach would have been yeah yeah but that was a good start you can use them about all in the almost done just that 70 but he didn't consider probably no other spy in the world had reached such heights. there was yet another job israel's mossad tossed in lycoming with to expose and eliminate german war criminals. after world war 2 they fled europe and settled in the usa canada great britain and the middle east syria in particular. just to show

that a constitution because there's a boom in the news story. to put up a community nobody at the bush is just below your cup of c.d.'s but had to step in t.c. and that's who's q i could sort of you've got to look to the present but i'm a bit stupid to commute to superman no sleep astonished c.d.'s but the most door to you studio i knew but you might have store minutes away but it's from susan i found susan young which i knew would have to glover the bunkum you are up 63 up strong. because i do good woods just minutes it moved with number so why do you think. cities here that don't study just compute that bit within the story that will change and see is that aids. is that right now does the bush is there any meat but on the system idea see. even in those new which would be that

even closer than it needs to some spoke with the question must to decode the solution the ego does not oppose the will to vote your tooth muhammad is dismissed so see me if you instead i'm good you could but i missed in that's why the buddha and mr curwen you know some of those you see double to try i'm going to do good deeds to move but odds are usually good it's easy i will give you police take you to the who could of us an easy a look to see any csma some ugly see when they're done with it the bill social owes anybody a minimum of what seeing isn't even east of us in a poignant city that never mind of us on the top and form a war criminals who had ended up in syria tried to exploit this discord. and they were the main targets of israeli intelligence. all over the world including syria for inside of the my head of wills at the it's no it's not when you start a near you believe the covering caught on the trail of france right of immediately

after the arrest of former nazi and for. secretly took hofmann out of argentina where he lived under an assumed name to tel aviv for a show trial it was then the largest victory for israeli intelligence. during world war 2 i when together with rademacher participated in developing the madagascar plan to resettle jews from europe they were involved in killing people in the gas chambers. 2 years on after the trial and execution of eichmann in tel aviv in one colon found throughout america in damascus he lived under the alias of 1st sario cohen notified tel of the tomorrow i'm going to resign rio it's going to. brazil rio is friends right about. it's going to. back then one murder

weapon of choice was a letter bomb cohen prepared his gift for former execution of friends throughout america but the assassination attempt failed something went wrong there was only a small pop. at the below him you could. see that is that the so much so that some say that this particular mission brought the mossad agent in damascus eli cohen and as a close scrutiny of the syrian counterintelligence service at least one of the clues pointed to him but there was no direct evidence tying him to the attempt as the right america he was arrested before the end of $963.00 in damascus on charges of spying for west germany even though he was a fierce opponent of israel which made him a friend of syria but the western blocks interests ran counter to the official position of damascus which was seeking or approach right with the us as i write

about who was later released on medical grounds and he voluntarily surrendered to the author of the federal republic of germany a soviet officer signalman berries lucan saw this intricately woven plot on unraveling while he was stationed in syria. the center of damascus was where all our protagonist could run into each other at some point and considering they lived there for about 3 years there's a very good chance that it indeed happened. actually the own town was where bodies lukin used most of his 8 millimeter films dog. and then one day but he's lookin turned his camera own and he is who would call it see it in slow motion. and begin. the school of the good of. the. that i

was going to school in the. us so we could. tell him. the data he like on an israeli spy started and 30 am he turned on the radio to listen to some arab tunes that were played by request it meant that my son transmitted data related to a new mission the introduction to every song contain parts of the code. his greatest achievement was passing classified information about the position of the syrian troops on the golan heights this is the key strategic location that syria could use to annihilate israel and vice versa. he was sort of pursuits a deal or escalate. period. in the me. to that of the so you are in the past so i want to the disease that's tripping is seeing them. again there are no stubbornly coupled to the. stomach would take

a thought in this part of the mushroom his own symptom but. although. i don't need to mean you're going to feel or see the story come. to them true and you can go but it's the considered out up ski when conan passed intelligence to tel aviv and it caused radio interference for the radio listeners in his neighborhood the syrian secret service started getting complaints from staff members of nearby embassies she needs of. that since you can give. the police who are that. when you. cannot go in the car. it was january 19th 65 when israeli agents in like oh i was tracked by intelligence services. which is not it of course in the wrong

city. it was when the notion of the suspect said about old mrs. doesn't go in your butcher and opposed to sammy but you're going to. succumb to the milder suze of the liquid that you can use with things the minute that's their shoes are. just the studio soldiers and several plain clothes men entered cohen's apartment right when he was using a radio to transmit some messages to tel aviv cohen was caught red handed. he was a sickly in this post about to do when you. get a priest on the publicity. service go say he was a. loser got the british c.d.'s i mean you can store nikki. giovanni. i knew putting snow boots the only in the should. have stayed on the.

go and was sentenced to capital punishment by hanging as someone who had caused irreparable damage to syria in israel he's held as a hero his country for his extradition they used all diplomatic means possible heads of various states into seated on his behalf the queen of the united kingdom and the pope among them but syrian all pharmacies were adamant this was war and cohen was an enemy of syria. his execution in damascus was broadcast live. in the by the state in the merger. mr saddam nobody bought in the because me. bush it's no good to such beauty. you war till it was sold us that's not. he. does that's a. the ghost of blue the skies of you do give species it has met needs because in

addition. to me your store commune ward school but it was overdue said amy a that the study should then you can see them pour in the buy these to buy them to but more the. food in the coffin with the spines body was taken to an unknown destination israel has been trying to repatriate his remains ever since. there's no direct evidence that bodies knew can personally played a part in exposing cohen that it was he who narrowed down the area where the israeli spy was found that he was in the car that scout the city of course not. much but he's looking wrongs in damascus at that time people formed his duties as a military signalman and his tour in syria ended in 1965 the year that cohen could

become a serious adverse 3 for syria and the soviet union was executed. see the a star let him in the boat him i miss them dear so yes he said use. him it's we've got so much mr unica here. i see didn't look very at machinery of. those i knew. i was in the postings committee just you who does genius to see it and i would have you know deep this is just so nice that this is just inscribed on a school shoulder because of a new piece of cheese of who go whew skis on nick at opposition but yelling about human beings no game other. than it's that these each of us but don't

see any syria use the use of that it was cordial it. as so biased on the social as it was then that in number. one i was piecing together the course of events from the mid $960.00 s. that old film poster from various lukins tapes kept popping up in my. town without pity. that was what damascus had become for israeli spy like own. as the trump presidency comes to wind the country stares into the political

divisions are deeper level than ever before and dialogue is almost non-existent talk of compromise is deemed to be treasonous by many this will shortly change. become a battleground in the u.s. . people. from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit. just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways. a struggle.

sort of morning here in the headlines this wednesday to remain footage from a german highlights of the extent of the surging covert e.u. white make claims to the brussels his boss the response. you'll see once you sit down in the restroom. service for only i'm sure the foreman for it. for what you doing right now while u.k. police cracking down on lockdown violators but the same time it seems caught on camera apparently breaking the very rules they're trying to enforce those coming up and easy joining a list it's.
