When a Chain of Moles Built the Soviet H‑Bomb: Secrets That Traveled Dead Drops

A single chain of moles closed a canyon between two superpowers: secrets passed through dead drops, coded meetings, and ordinary envelopes to help the Soviets detonate an H‑bomb in August 1953 just one year after America’s first hydrogen test. How did physicists, machinists, secretaries, soldiers, and couriers stitch together the intelligence that moved from Los Alamos to the Kazakh steppe?
In this episode, we lay out who was involved, what they passed, and how a network of couriers and trusted insiders accelerated the Soviet program - ending with the unresolved question of which links were never identified and why some went to their graves undetected.
