A History of the Russian Secret Service (1972) by Richard Deacon
Requirements: .PDF reader, 32.6mb
Overview: This is a detailed history of the Russian Secret Service from the earliest times up to the most recent. The account ranges from Ivan the Terrible’s dreaded Oprichniki to the establishment of the Third Section
by Nicholas |, from the formation of
the Ochrana in the latter days of Czardom to the era of the hated Cheka of Felix Dzerzhinsky, and on to the KGB of today.
Also discussed are the various tactics used by the Russian Secret Service over the years: the agent provocateur, such as levno Azeff, who worked for the Secret Police and at the same time plotted bomb outrages with the revolutionary terrorists; the infiltration of movements and societies hostile to the Russian status quo; the work of such efficient spies as Richard Sorge, who penetrated the German Embassy in Tokyo; and the activities of the astonishing ‘Lucy’ network in Switzerland during World War II.
Modern Soviet espionage shows the vast network at perhaps its most complex,and the author examines its extent in the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Africa, and the Far East, and explains the operations of the anti-NATO spy rings. Perhaps most important of all is his exposé of the USSR’s latest espionage tactic, “the cold war of disinformation,” in which he presents an intriguing picture of how the KGB has infiltrated the CIA and is planting vast amounts of false information on the Western World.
