I note that it was FDR not Teddy.

Amazing story

[@Jackthesmilingblack]

Ursula Kuczynski was born in 1907, not 1917. Her second husband (some say third) was Len Beurton (Burton). The more kids you have, the better your cover. Her first husband was Rudolph (Rudi) Hamburger (not Rolph). Actually Len and Alexander Foote fought in Spain with the International Brigade against Franco. Before September 1939, only Russia was fighting the Fascists. When Ursula did a runner to East Germany, she could only take her two youngest children; her older son was at university in Scotland. Husband Len had broken his leg and arm in a motorbike accident, so they had to be left in UK.

@@Jackthesmilingblack Yeah and around 27:00 they said Theodore Roosevelt, not Franklin, so this documentary is wildly innacurate which is disappointing for seeming so professional at the outset.

You might want to take a look at: "Sonya’s Red Heart, Part One: The Fairytale of Ursula Kuczynski".

So many people have been given or taken credit for " The Deed". I always thought that's what the Rosenbergs were convicted of.

[@joanhuffman2166]

There were a great many who spied on atomic research. The Venona project and KGB records have revealed as much.

27:00 Maybe somebody high up WANTED her to pass info to the Soviets.

Looking at the girl playing Sonia She cannot send morse code just tapping the key.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

This is my favorite heroine. Intelligent, efficient, bold and extremely discreet. A very nice lady with deep political convictions who helped define the 20th century without worrying about whether or not she would become famous while working in secret for the Soviets.

[@robynmeyer7796]

Heroine??

[@martthesling]

Traitor.

[@joanhuffman2166]

Moral monster working for the worst moral monster of the age. Fascism is bad, but communism is worse.

[@LouisWilmer-t3f]

At 27:20, the narrator made a mistake. I wasn't THEODORE Roosevelt, who was dead, It was FRANKLIN Roosevelt, was the President of the USA.

Soviets were smart...

[@Garbeaux.]

So smart they had to steal top secret info to even make their nukes? So smart the Soviet Union collapsed?

@@NebulaBull Soviets do not exist anymore because the Soviet Union is gone, but Russians are by far the biggest country of the 15 republics that comprised the Soviet Union are smart too.

[@vxrdrummer]

@ozymandiasultor9480 Soviets never ceased to exist in anything other than name. It will take generations to get the Soviet out of Russia. Just my opinion.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

@@vxrdrummer Oh, that is your opinion? OK... I can say that the Confederation never ceased to exist and point toward that militaristic plutocracy, the USA, and all things that show that the South is alive and ruling...But that would be wrong for many reasons. Officially, de jure and de facto Soviet Union does not exist and Russia made a U-turn from all values of the Soviet Union, Putin is religious and he never wanted the Soviet Union back. Not just my opinion.
