Nicholas Daniloff's arrest in 1986 on espionage charges exacerbated U.S.-Soviet tensions, nearly scuttling the Reagan-Gorbachev summit and escalating the Cold War crisis.
Daniloff's espionage case became a political firestorm, leading to a swap and the expulsion of numerous diplomats on both sides, reflecting the intense geopolitical animosities of the era.
After his ordeal, Daniloff transitioned to academia, writing extensively on Russian history and culture, blending personal experiences with broader historical narratives.
Daniloff's experience serves as a reminder of the volatile nature of U.S.-Soviet relations during the Cold War, showcasing personal and political implications.
