So apparently you are the slowest board on 4chan and I'm low on time, but I'll give it a shot.

I am looking for books about the soviet union, specifically spying and murder. Also, preferably books that are about a certain event, such as a town in the former soviet union or a person that lived there. Fiction accepted, but I prefer real stories.

Sorry for this vague description, I rarely read books but I want to start "getting into" it.
