Murder in Mexico City: The Assassination of Leon Trotsky

For those of you who have visited the International Spy Museum, you may be familiar with one of our most prized artifacts, the ice ax used to assassinate Leon Trotsky in 1940. Trotsky was the operational mastermind of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and when Vladimir Lenin died, many assumed Trotsky would succeed him as the central figure of the revolution. Joseph Stalin had other plans. What followed was a bitter rivalry that ended in Trotsky's demise. Our guest today, H. Keith Melton, not only tracked down the murder weapon but, alongside his colleague Nigel West, wrote the most comprehensive account of the plot and the assassination to date. Keith and Nigel join guest host Dr. Mark Jacobson to discuss their book, The Assassination of Leon Trotsky: Espionage, Scandal, and the Crime of the Century, ahead of their live program coming up on August 6, here at the International Spy Museum.

How sovereign is Europe's space industry?

As space becomes an increasingly important part of global communications, national security, and critical infrastructure, European governments are confronting a difficulty: How much control do they need over their own space capabilities? In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with producer Ethan Cook⁠⁠⁠ to examine the growing push for European space sovereignty and the challenges standing in the way. The conversation explores how supply-chain dependencies can undermine national and regional independence, even when satellites and launch systems are built domestically. Additionally, the two also discuss the trade-offs between complete self-sufficiency and maintaining resilient, diversified international partnerships.

Cold lures, hot targets.

This week, we are joined by ⁠Ondrej Kubovič⁠, Security Awareness Specialist from ⁠ESET⁠, discussing their work on "FrostyNeighbor: Fresh mischief and digital shenanigans." Ondrej walks us through ESET's latest research into FrostyNeighbor, a long-running Belarus-aligned cyberespionage group that has continued to target Ukrainian government organizations with increasingly sophisticated spearphishing campaigns. We discuss how the group uses malicious PDF lures, server-side victim validation, and an updated JavaScript-based malware chain to selectively deploy espionage tools, demonstrating its ongoing efforts to evade detection while compromising high-value targets across Eastern Europe.
