" On ne choisit pas d'entrer au KGB, c'est le KGB qui vous choisit. " Lorsqu'il intègre à dix-sept ans l'Institut d'État des relations internationales (MGIMO) à Moscou, Sergueï Jirnov est loin d'imaginer que ses pas seront bientôt guidés par le KGB. Et pourtant, ce dernier l'a choisi pour intégrer l'élite suprême de son cheptel d'espions : les " éclaireurs ".

In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives and the cases of these so-called witches, placing them in the historical context of 15th-century England, a setting rife with political upheaval and war.

J'avais une équipe, des conseillers, des amis, des visiteurs du soir, mais j'étais seul à prendre et à assumer la décision finale. C'est le premier sentiment qui m'a envahi après avoir raccompagné Jacques Chirac à sa voiture et être remonté dans le bureau présidentiel qui était devenu le mien pour les cinq années à venir.

I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.
