  • Resumen

  • Michael Idov, author of The Collaborators, joins Spybrary to discuss the spy novel everyone in our community is raving about.

    In this in-depth conversation, Michael shares how his Soviet upbringing, real-world intelligence events like the Ryanair Belarus 'hijacking' incident and Moscow taxi hacker chaos, and his love for British espionage fiction shaped his gripping debut spy novel.

    We also dive into his work on Deutschland 83, Deutschland 89, his admiration for OSINT warriors like Bellingcat, and his love letter to cities like Riga, Berlin, and London.

    🎧 Topics include:
    Real-world events that feature in The Collaborators
    Why Michael sees spy fiction as a milieu, not a genre
    The delicate balance between spy realism and cinematic action
    OSINT’s influence on modern espionage stories
    British vs. American spy fiction traditions
