NKVD

Ivan Fitin runs the NKVD operation in Tehran from the Soviet Embassy, just a block away from the Embassy of their hated British rivals. He relentlessly and ruthlessly works to completely suborn the Tudeh Party and weaken the Shah, planning a Communist Revolution in Persia that will turn the country over to Stalin wholesale. An local Armenian activist, Artashes Avanesian, feeds the Moscow line to Tudeh for the Comintern, a Party agency. The NKVD also runs agents amongst the refugee communities, monitoring them for anti-Soviet activities.
