Aliia Roza, a former Russian citizen who claims to be an ex-spy, is breaking her silence in a new podcast called “To Die For” from Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts. This podcast is the first time an alleged Russian Federal Security Service-trained “seduction agent” is speaking out about her training, techniques, targets, and missions. Born into a Kazakh-Tatar family of a high-ranking military officer in the Soviet Union, Roza was involved in a special government program as a child due to her father’s position. She was later chosen to participate in a top-secret program where she learned seduction and persuasion techniques to gather information from enemy targets.
At the age of 18, Roza was selected to be part of a program developed by former KGB psychologists and high-ranking officers, where she studied the art of communication and psychology to manipulate targets. The program focused on techniques such as dressing up, putting on makeup, speaking with targets, and building trust with them. Roza explained that the skills she acquired were not just about sex, but about understanding the psychology of people, criminals, and men. She also mentioned the importance of compliments, conversation, and sex techniques to make a target obsessed with her. Over time, she realized she was brainwashed as a master manipulator.
Despite initially feeling patriotic and heroic in her work as a spy, Roza later felt used and disconnected from her body, which was constantly abused and raped by random men. She described feeling detached from her emotions and believed she was sacrificing her body for a greater cause. Roza eventually fell in love with a man she was meant to gather intelligence on, and with his help, she fled Moscow and settled in Los Angeles. She now teaches her seduction tips to women looking to boost their self-esteem and has over a million followers on Instagram.
The podcast delves into Roza’s experiences, trauma, and PTSD, highlighting the intense and unexpected aspects of her story. Neil Strauss, the creator of the podcast, initially found it difficult to believe Roza’s story but after conducting research and speaking to sources, he was compelled to share her narrative. Roza speaks out against issues such as the Russia-Ukraine war that she finds appalling, emphasizing the need for women to support each other and share their stories to unite against evil. Strauss hopes that the podcast will encourage other former female spies to come forward and shed light on their experiences.
Throughout her journey as a former spy, Roza experienced manipulation, abuse, and sacrifice in the name of her country. She now uses her story to empower other women and encourage them to stand up for what they believe in. By sharing her experiences and exposing the dark realities of espionage, Roza aims to inspire others to speak out against injustice and support each other in the face of adversity. Through her podcast and teachings, she hopes to create a sense of unity and solidarity among women worldwide.
