Underground agents and plots in the Cold War broadcasting war
In this week's Czech History we look at one aspect of the Cold War, the use of secret agents to spy on and disrupt the enemy's propaganda services. In particular, we focus on the circus that surrounded the return of a Czechoslovak double agent Pavel Mina?ik 40 years ago in 1976 which was aimed at discrediting the US financed and Munich-based broadcaster Radio Free Europe.
