60 Minutes on Channel 9 – with reports from Tara Brown and Tom Steinfort will air Sunday 25 June at 8.30pm on 9 and 9Now.
SECRETS AND SPIES
The murky business of espionage usually exists in the shadows. But not this week on 60 MINUTES. In an intriguing and at times robust encounter, Tara Brown interviews a woman our spy agency, ASIO, claims is an agent tasked by Russia to gather sensitive information. Her name is Marina Sologub, and up until earlier this year she’d been living and working in Adelaide for three years.
Now she’s in immigration detention waiting to be kicked out of the country. As Brown reports, cases like this would normally be kept top secret, but quite remarkably a very bold Sologub is refusing to go quietly, denying accusations she’s a spy, and vowing to fight her deportation to the bitter end.

A FEW GOOD WOMEN
He has killed thousands of soldiers and civilians and flattened countless towns and villages, but 17 months on from his illegal invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is still a long way from victory.
It’s a major embarrassment for the Russian bully, who originally expected to win the war within days. And now, along with the defiant Ukrainian forces, Putin is also facing other formidable foes.
Tom Steinfort travels to north-eastern Europe to meet a group of fearless females, including the prime ministers of Finland and Estonia, who despite the dangers are bravely standing up to the dictator, determined to play their part in his defeat.
