A Rose for Sergei: An Unexpected Encounter with a Soviet KGB Defector

â€œDo we really know what we are getting ourselves intoâ€¦â€

Sergei Kourdakov jumped from a Russian trawler in 1971 and barely survived the treacherous swim to the rocky shores of Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada. The handsome, twenty-year-old ex-KGB naval intelligence officer had defectedâ€”leaving behind a horrific life he could no longer face.

K. Kiddâ€™s search for independence and a career with the Federal Government led her on a journey that far surpassed any expectations. A year after Sergei defected; she was introduced to him at her office in Washington, DC. The moment they met, the immediate attraction surprised them both. â€œEven you could be spy,â€ Sergei whispered.

This improbable, unbelievable, true story chronicles K. Kiddâ€™s real-life relationship with a man who gave up everything for freedom. In her eye-opening memoir, the author reveals a side of Sergei Kourdakov that few people ever saw.
