A man with fifteen gunshot wounds, five to the head, found clutching a single long grey hair that was not his own - how did a decorated Soviet intelligence officer end up dead on a Swiss road the night of 4 September 1937? What did that solitary strand reveal about the woman who lured him, the money left behind, and the Moscow machine that made certain he would not arrive where he was going?
In this episode, we tell the story of Nathan Markovich Poreckij, known to the world as Ignace Reiss, and trace the path from his birth in 1899 to his decision to break with the Soviet secret services in 1937. We follow his career across Europe, the letter he sent to the Central Committee with his Order of the Red Banner, and the final hours that ended in assassination - and ask whether his warning could have changed anything.
Person: Nathan Markovich Poreckij (Ignace Reiss)
Date: 4 September 1937
Location: road from Lausanne to Chamblandes, Switzerland
Event: assassination with 15 gunshot wounds, 5 to the head
Document: letter to the Central Committee sent 17 July 1937 enclosing the Order of the Red Banner
- The body was discovered on the night of 4 September 1937 clutching a single long grey hair that did not belong to him.
- The dead man carried a Czech passport in the name of Hans Eberhardt and a railway ticket to Reims he never used.
- A classified French report published 14 years later described the operation as an "excellent example of the liquidation of a deserter from the Soviet secret service."
- Reiss entered Soviet intelligence in 1921, served in the GPU/OGPU/NKVD and the GRU, and received the Order of the Red Banner in 1927.
- On 17 July 1937 Reiss sealed a letter to the Central Committee condemning the Great Purge and returned his original Order of the Red Banner.
