Aliia Roza, a former Russian citizen who claims to be an ex-spy, has broken her silence and is sharing her experiences in a new podcast titled 'To Die For.' This podcast marks the first time an alleged Russian Federal Security Service (FSB)-trained 'seduction agent' is speaking out about her training, techniques, targets, and missions.
Roza, who was born into a Kazakh-Tatar family with a military background in the Soviet Union, revealed that she was involved in a special government program for children of high-ranking officers from a young age. Despite initially aspiring to pursue fashion design, she was eventually selected to participate in a top-secret program focused on using seduction and persuasion to extract information from enemy targets.
Roza emphasized that the training she received was not solely about sex but also about mastering the art of communication, understanding psychology, and utilizing specific techniques to make targets trust and become obsessed with her. She described her journey as a 'master manipulator' and how she later realized she had been 'brainwashed' into believing she was a hero fighting against human and drug trafficking.
After fleeing Moscow with her young son and settling in Los Angeles, Roza has assumed a new identity and now shares her seduction tips with women looking to boost their self-esteem. Despite her past involvement in espionage activities, she now aims to empower women and encourage them to support each other.
The podcast, spearheaded by author Neil Strauss, sheds light on the intense experiences and trauma faced by former female spies like Roza. Strauss hopes that Roza's story will inspire other ex-spies to come forward and raise awareness about the challenges faced by women in the Russian military intelligence community.
Roza's revelations highlight the complexities and moral dilemmas associated with using sex and love as tools of espionage, underscoring the need for greater understanding and support for individuals who have been exploited in such operations.
