news:Bpjsn.538$Z6.368@edtnps82: Ray OHara wrote: the KGB routinely made monkey's uncles out of the western intel agencies. as for the bombers, its the legasy of the Russians taking over others countries. KGB success in _obtaining_ intelligence, such as it was, depended entirely on the willingness of useful traitors. First they were ideological traitors, then, as people wised up, they became traitors for money. But the KGB otherwise didn't exactly do anything "better" than anyone else...they had some real buffoons as agent runners from time to time. And I said "such as it was" because it transpires that the ultimate recipient of all this hard-won intelligence, the Soviet command structure, wasn't very good at interpreting it. As for Soviet counterintelligence, and the difficulties that caused Western agencies trying to operate in the fUSSR, well, that's simply what happens when running a police state. Western counterintelligence had to be considerably more sophisticated, and was. An ambitious Soviet attach made several truly inept runs at my father in the late 70s. His target likely was not my father (the senior researcher in the history directorate of DG Exec Sec) but us three kids who were then starting our careers in the CF. The KGB did not send their "A" team to Ottawa. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

And, in the second case, warning about what ? let's remember that the least guarded (relatively) nuke warheads components/blueprints are that of fUSSr... Best regards from Italy, Dott. Piergiorgio. |

Looking back over the years the USSR had a huge number of good spies, both 'walk ins' and professional 'illegals'. Their 'illegals' seem to have been very highly trained and difficult to catch, and that's just the ones we (and others) caught... mh.... what is the meaning of "illegals" here ? I known very well about eastern EU immigrant workers, and I'm pretty sure that placing a very trained operative in the household of Italian politicos is easy, if one thinks a bit on this....
