Balalaikas in Blackpool

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Blackpool under Soviet control? It's not as far-fetched as it sounds. Why else did the Soviet Union produce a detailed map of the town, in Russian, clearly marked "secret"? Henry Dodds examines Cold War invasion plans, as revealed by hundreds of maps of major British cities, produced by Soviet intelligence, right up until 1989.
