In 1937, while the Spanish Civil War was raging, the Catalan Andreu Nin, leader of the Marxist organization, POUM, was mysteriously arrested in Republican Spain by special agents of the Spanish police. Shortly afterwards he was, even more mysteriously, kidnapped from prison and never heard from again. What happened to Andreu Nin? Who kidnapped him? Who murdered him? And, still more important, why? The answers to these and more questions were found in KGB archives in Moscow. Televisió de Catalunya was the first Spanish news crew to be granted permission to carry out research on KGB premises. The result is "Operation Nikolai", a masterwork of investigative journalism discovering conclusive evidence that unravels the web of doubts and lies enveloping Andreu Nin's life and death.
