Description
Based on the novel by Masaru Satou. Art by Junji Itou. Script by Takashi Nagasaki. Yuukoku no Rasputin is an interesting variation on the Cold War thriller, with the protagonist being a non-career employee in the Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry stationed in the U.S.S.R. prior to its collapse, who gets a hands-on education in being street-wise.

The story starts out with non-career Foreign Affairs Ministry employee Mamoru Yuuki getting arrested on trumped up charges, processed and placed into the jail system. This is followed by a flashback where he was a university student trying to figure out how to travel overseas as part of his career plans; he sees an ad on the notice board and signs up for the ministry. While stationed in Moscow, he's at ground zero when the military attempted its coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. Through sheer luck and good planning Yuuki manages to determine that Gorbachev is still alive right after the coup, scooping the CIA and gaining the notice of one of his superiors. After this, he slowly received advice from various other ministry members on how to survive in this business. Largely the advice is to keep your head down, carefully watch everyone, determine who the spies are and keep your emotions off your face.
