To stop them, a Russian KGB spy named Bogdan Stashinsky was sent to murder Ukrainian Exile Leader Stepan Bandera and Lev Rebet, the editor of an anti-Soviet newspaper. Using a cyanide pistol, Stashinsky was successful in both cases. Hired killers are not among the world's most attractive people. Yet Stashinsky emerges as a tragic figure.
