Fantastic as it may seem. this play is based strictly on fact. Ivan Nicolaevitch Azeff was a real person who nourished in Czarist Russia, and he did act at the same time as an agent of the Secret Police, and as head of the Battle Organisation of the revolutionaries. In the course of his career, he took part in escapades and treacheries worthy of the most sensational novelist. The facts behind tonight's radio play are given in more detail in the article on page 13.
('Azeff' will be repeated in the Regional programme on Friday night)
