A dead man, an envelope stuffed with cash and Russian amateur boxing
Steve Bunce tells the story of an envelope stuffed with cash, a bath stuffed with a dead man and the Russian amateur boxing connection
IT is hard to tell where this story starts or ends and that is not unusual when I pull a few facts together. There was an envelope stuffed with a $1,000 in Havana, a bath stuffed with a dead man on Tchaikovsky Street in Moscow and a big lump swearing at me on the Turkish coast. They are probably all connected to Russian amateur boxing, perhaps the coldest of Cold War agencies.
