5.0 out of 5 stars
Soviet answer to James Bond,
This review is from: Seventeen Moments of Spring (Paperback)
This novel, one of a series like the James Bond novels, was turned into a TV series in the late 1960's by order of then KGB chief Yuri Andropov to improve the image of the "new" slick Soviet intelligence agent (gone are the trenchcoats and ham-fisted NKVD thugs). Read the book, see the TV series. This was and still is hugely popular all over the former Soviet Union. KGB propaganda at it's best and most effective.

Zen and the Art of Being a Spy!,
By Shahryar Eivazzadeh (Iran) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seventeen Moments of Spring (Paperback)
Semyonov by depicting "Stirlitz", the hero of the story, tries to show how one can be a zen guru in the world of spies. So read the book as the story of a Zen Guru. I specially love the last 3 paragraphs of the book .The feeling of salvation portraied in the lonliness of Stirlitz in a jungle born to spring , a well finished impossible mission , an unknown future and the "Seventeen Moments of Spring" song being sang in the background.
