The Man Who Killed for Both Sides: Inside Yevno Azef

A man who organized assassinations and sent comrades to Siberia also filed reports for the Tsar's secret police-Yevno Azef ran the SR Combat Organization while informing the Okhrana for years. How did a single man manage to plan the murder of the Interior Minister and keep being paid by the same police force that should have stopped him?

In this episode, we lay out the documented timeline of Azef's life from his birth in 1869 to his leadership of the Socialist Revolutionary Party's Combat Organization, presenting the names, dates, betrayals and archival confirmations - and asking the central unresolved question: what exactly was Azef?
