Balalaikas In Blackpool
Why did the Soviet Union produce a detailed map of the Lancashire resort? Henry Dodds tries to find out. From 2005.
Blackpool under Soviet control?
Not quite as far-fetched as it sounds.
Why else did the Soviet Union produce a detailed map of the seaside town, clearly marked "secret"?
Henry Dodds examines Cold War invasion plans, as revealed by hundreds of maps of major British cities, ports and railheads produced by Soviet intelligence, right up until 1989.
Producer Marya Burgess
