I just checked this guy's Wikipedia page and wow, it's an adventure. The best thing is the ending. "Barsky lived in Schaghticoke, New York until 2016. He now resides near Atlanta, Georgia, with Shawna, and their daughter, Trinity, born in 2010. The FBI agent who lived next door and interrogated him after his detainment became a close friend and godfather to Trinity."
Jahanara Chaudhry Yes we are aware of that. However, there are people who have spent harsher time in prison and have served a longer sentence than Piper. Also, prison is different for people who are not from affluent backgrounds. They would think differently bout these shows. That is the perspective we would like to see.
Keep in mind, we don't want realistic depiction of spycraft. We want unrealistic flashy spies that everyone spots from across the room, and know by name/drink order. Because if everyone knew how to actually do it, we'd have a lot more spies.
Jack Philip Barsky (born Albrecht Dittrich, 13 November 1949) is a German-Americanauthor, IT specialist and former sleeper agentof the KGB who spied on the United States from 1978-88. Exposed after the Cold War, Barsky became a resource for U.S. counterintelligence agencies and was allowed to remain in the United States. His autobiography, Deep Undercover, was published in 2017, and he frequently speaks on his experiences and as an expert on espionage.
Most spies are just ordinary people doing what they believe is right for their country, no matter where they are from... I learned from this guy's wiki page that the FBI agent who eventually uncovered him is now one of his best friends and actually acts as the godfather to his youngest child :D
The Americans is a MUST-SEE series. It's done so ingeniously, on so many levels, a journey back in time to the 80s, as far as pop culture is concerned, this tension between the KGB on the one hand and the FBI and CIA on the other, relations between Russia and the USA, all the techniques that were used back Then etc The series is currently available on Netflix. I've been sick for the last three weeks and watched all episodes
This is so interesting! He seems so extremely normal, even boring. I'd love to have a couple of hours with him over a coffee. The stories he could tell!

Love the video.. I hope u can turn this into a series, where people with the real perticular occupation reacts to the movies/series, where the movie shows a life with the same occupation.
Jack Barsky common sits in on Slate’s, The Americans podcast episode reviews. If you’re a fan of the show it’s the BEST recap out there. The Americans is my favorite TV show!
I'll never forget when I saw a real Soviet spy after the screening of "Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy". He told the theatre audience what it was like to be a spy in West Germany during the Cold War. He was an engineer, graduate of our Technical University; they got him in his final ear there.
You know what would be a fun sitcom? A neighborhood of nothing but spies all assigned to watch each other. Like one guy who works at a bank is actually an Mi6 agent, the Turners work for the CIA, the young businesswoman is actually Chinese intelligence (they don't have a name for that), and they're all supposed to keep an eye on each other. It could be hilarious
well, at 1:52 after the intimate scene he’s correcting his seating position. Definitely something going on down there... i’m not a spy but i can tell! 😎 covfefe anyone? ☕️
I love this guy so much! He kind of reminds me of my Russian grandpa (they look really alike and both dealt with secret information, though my grandpa was in the USSR's nuclear & military engineering/testing field but still). I hope there will be more videos with this man educating us!!
he lived/worked in New York for years and was tutored to speak English with a NY accent before being sent there. The hint of German still apparent was explained away by claiming that his mom was a German war bride who still spoke the language at home when he was growing up, whenever he was questioned about it.
CITATE GT- but what is he say he is retire spy but actualy he is gaining popularity so he can manipulate large mass of people. "Free speach" on public place while rest of the spy are getting aways something in that area? Imagination imagination 😂😂
*yeah but has he seen spykids*
Me has*
Oh gosh its torture
BWAHAHAHA I LAUGHED WAY TO HARD
Let’s not talk about that one
Did somebody ring the Dinkster?
I hope my assigned FBI agent doesn’t watch this

Also, prison is different for people who are not from affluent backgrounds. They would think differently bout these shows. That is the perspective we would like to see.
Lisa Ward yes queen
wentworth would be good
Real spycraft is incredibly boring, because if anything exciting happens, it's because something went catastrophically wrong.
Keep in mind, we don't want realistic depiction of spycraft. We want unrealistic flashy spies that everyone spots from across the room, and know by name/drink order. Because if everyone knew how to actually do it, we'd have a lot more spies.
It's funny, I know James Bond isn't 'real' but the latest 007, Craig, was exciting probably because he was the sloppiest.
"Perfectly reformed"
Do this with a sponge watching spongebob

james friel it was in the guys book
Next do “drug dealers watch breaking bad”
CRIMINAL lawyers watch better call saul
Nice try FBI
“The Americans” is my favorite show! Can’t wait for the new season!
Better for it to be the final season than for them to drag it out endlessly, if that happens, really good shows can become really bad shows.
He seems so cool
Gabrielle Tor he was also a commie
@MeldThe Steel
even cooler
it would be cool the Real Lucifer watches Lucifer TV show. lol
He does in hell
Crazy this guy is so likeable!
Most spies are just ordinary people doing what they believe is right for their country, no matter where they are from... I learned from this guy's wiki page that the FBI agent who eventually uncovered him is now one of his best friends and actually acts as the godfather to his youngest child :D
Lina Garibay spies are like con man you don't give your money to someone you don't like you don't give your trust to someone you don't like

Don't open the door Michael.
Hahahahahah, remember?

1:52 I sudden felt awkward because I was watching a pretty sensual scene with an old guy

Perfectly reformed..... that's what a not perfectly reformed spy would say 👀

Then he is good spy.
Damn! Even his voice sounds like he's a spy... haha
Show him 'The Blacklist', let's see if the strategy actually applied in real life.
Global Critics YES
I love that he felt the needed to add „perfectly reformed“. 😂
The world we live in! Former KGB spies are into TH-cam reaction videos!

“EX KGB” he’s getting intel you fools
The Americans is my favorite show on TV. Sadly it's ending this year

I love this guy so much! He kind of reminds me of my Russian grandpa (they look really alike and both dealt with secret information, though my grandpa was in the USSR's nuclear & military engineering/testing field but still). I hope there will be more videos with this man educating us!!
Why does he sound like a New Yorker!?!??!!? He's KGB! NOT FBI!
Empire of Enfieldia hes got a russian drawl
fooled you. thats kinda the point
because a thick Russian accent screams I'm trustworthy...
Wortem14 He has a German accent.
he lived/worked in New York for years and was tutored to speak English with a NY accent before being sent there. The hint of German still apparent was explained away by claiming that his mom was a German war bride who still spoke the language at home when he was growing up, whenever he was questioned about it.
The man looks like a spy too. Legend.
This guy kinda looks like an older version of Putin
"perfectly reformed... I swear... Seriously... I'm really not spying anymore... For real... Not lying... Please don't drone me!"

No, he's no longer a spy that's why he said that he "used" to be a spy.
CITATE GT- but what is he say he is retire spy but actualy he is gaining popularity so he can manipulate large mass of people.
"Free speach" on public place while rest of the spy are getting aways something in that area?
Imagination imagination 😂😂
