that Andrew Meier foundduring his literary investigation into Cy's life.
For half a century, the case of Isaiah Oggins, an American brutally murdered in 1947 on Stalin's orders, remained sealed in the secret files of the KGB and the FBI — a footnote buried in the rubble of the Cold War. In 1992, it surfaced briefly, when Boris Yeltsin handed over a dossier to the White House.
