The Highest-Ranking U.S. Military Officer Ever Convicted of Espionage
On June 14, 2000, 73-year-old retired Army Colonel George Trofimoff walked into a Tampa hotel room expecting $20,000. Instead, he walked out in handcuffs—ending one of the longest-running spy operations in Cold War history.
For 25 years, Trofimoff smuggled over 50,000 pages of classified NATO documents to the KGB, photographing them in his home and passing the film to Soviet handlers in Austria. His recruiter? His own foster brother—a Russian Orthodox Metropolitan who was secretly working for Soviet intelligence.
This is the true story of:
A White Russian refugee who fled communism, then betrayed America
A three-year FBI undercover operation that captured a full confession on tape
The Russian Orthodox clergyman who ran a spy network under religious cover
The defector archive that finally exposed "Agent Markiz" after decades
A desperate man reduced to bagging groceries, willing to do anything for cash
From his aristocratic birth in 1920s Berlin to his death in a California federal prison in 2014, George Trofimoff's life reveals the human cost of espionage—stripped of glamour and reduced to broken trust, financial desperation, and unknowable victims.
