Description

Imagine you were a fly on the wall at a dinner between the mafia, the CIA, and the KGB. That’s where this unprecedented story begins. A journey through the dark world of Russian intelligence where, for the first time, a professed “sex spy” tells her story. All of it. 


Host Neil Strauss (Rolling Stone, The New York Times) brings listeners into the dangerous world of sexpionage, where enemies of the State are not the only victims. So too are the spies themselves, brainwashed to believe that their bodies belong to Russia and meticulously trained to become “the perfect weapons.” Who is Aliia Roza? From the creators of the hit podcast series To Live and Die in LA, this is To Die For.

i really liked listening to this. but the moment i searched her name and watched the Vice video, everything changed for me. i think with only focusing on her narrative you missed on giving us a true and complete picture of her character. the woman on the Vice video is very much different than the carachter that i got to know in this podcast. i think it would've been much better if you were adding 1 episode only about her character now and what she is doing or maybe dive deeper into her backgroun

"I’m absolutely loving 'To Die For'! The storytelling is gripping, and the way the host delves into each case with such detail and empathy is incredible. It’s clear a lot of research and heart goes into every episode. Can’t wait to see what’s next! https://www.spreaker.com/episode/future-of-biodegradable-custom-packaging--60845054

I truly don't care whether she's telling the truth or not. I found the story and the way she told it very interesting. I was entertained and intrigued. If this was listed as fiction or was a movie, I'd probably watch it. Just need something relatively interesting to listen to while working and avoiding my impossibly annoying coworker.

I made the mistake of searching the name Aliia Roza on google and was pointed to a Vice video episode about her, and now I can't even try to believe a single word out of this lady's mouth
