The Petrov Affair
In April, 1954, Vladimir Petrov, head of Soviet espionage in Australia, successfully approached ASIO for asylum. His defection sparked the most dramatic spy scandal in Australian history. This powerful mini-series, conceived by the legendary journalist Sam Lipski and written by Cliff Green ('Picnic At Hanging Rock'), tells how, in the midst of a hostile Cold War, Petrov and his wife, sparked a scandalous Royal Commission, allegations of political conspiracy, and the most bitter federal election in Australian history.
