the Soviet KGB under Stalin's directions was an internationalist organization: it would kill anyone who would stand in the way of Stalin and his leadership.After Stalin's death, the KGB underwent serious reforms, but not serious enough to declare it a legitimate organization abiding by the laws of the state.In fact, it was a tool in the hands of the totalitarian state, in the hands of the Soviet leadership.And it was used at their will.Let me just describe the criteria used to put someone on a death list.Trotsky was one of the victims.All of them were sentenced to death in absentia.Nikolai Shadrin, former commander of the Soviet cruiser in the Baltic who had defected to Sweden with his mistress.Sometimes there is a lot of exaggeration about the Soviet capabilities.Markov was a rather special case.In the first place, it was not a Soviet affair: it was Bulgarian.Zhivkov, requested the Soviet KGB to help them to get rid of Georgi Markov, who was a prominent journalist, highly critical of the Bulgarian regime.Kryuchkov, the chief of the intelligence, who persuaded Andropov to change his mind.Bulgarians were simply the 16th republic, whatever they say.The Bulgarians were given a choice of weapons, and finally they picked up this umbrella as a cover to shoot the man with a poisoned pellet.Well, it was not supposed to be uncovered, because the pellet would dissolve in his body within 24 hours, if I recall correctly.Well, let me tell you this: intelligence played little, if any, role in winning the Cold War.On the other hand, the intelligence played a tremendous role in keeping the world from the brink, from turning the Cold War into a hot war.When he came into the Soviet Embassy, he produced immediately very convincing proof of his great value.Soviets to decrypt all traffic between the U.It was particularly important because the United States Navy is the most formidable force in the United States defense establishment.Soviet shores and firing their missiles, which would reach Moscow and major industrial centers within minutes.To keep an eye, to monitor all the traffic, to know well in advance what kind of military planning was in process, what kind of commands the naval people would get, what movements the submarines would make, and how close they would come to the Soviet shores, was of absolutely strategic importance.And indeed, you know, George Blake had that innocent mind in a sense.He's still a very naive man.Eastern Europe, and ultimately to Cuba; when we allowed him to meet our young, aspiring intelligence officer(s) and to become an instructor, a teacher; when he would be received with rousing ovations by the Soviet hockey players or football teams; my idea was to give the man a chance to become what he always wanted to.And to me it was a matter of honor to resurrect him to life and make him a man ...The reason was clear: to protect him from potential dangers from the outside world.We thought that we were protecting him.You know, after all, he was rewarded.And finally we persuaded Andropov to persuade the Politburo to give him that great award.And when he died, I felt as if I lost a friend.And it's probably hard to explain.By the time of his death, I think he was highly disappointed, not in the cause itself, but in the way the Soviet system functioned.And his death was a very sad event for me, not because I was his supervisor, but a man who was of the same mindset but who already died.Only later I learned from my colleagues in Moscow that Andropov, after reading my message, said, "Do not show anyone, destroy immediately."To me, Czechoslovakia was a continuation of Khrushchev's thaw: socialism with a human face.And this started a chain of events which led me finally to the realization that I was on the wrong path.Soviet technical intelligence was far inferior to Soviet human intelligence.Washington, for instance, surprisingly received high marks in the Kremlin.Henry Kissinger, then assistant of national security affairs to the president, and his fiancee.They talked on the phone, and Henry asked her how he looked on television the previous night, and she said, "Oh, you looked great."But he was insistent: "But tell me more, tell me more."And we sent this to Moscow, just simply as an example of our successful technical program.But Andropov, who was a great manipulator, obviously managed to project this piece of information in a way that convinced the Politburo that we have excellent technical facilities and could intercept even such intimate conversations of major Western political leaders.Human intelligence provided the bulk of information required by the government.And they ultimately saw that all their efforts and money were wasted.This aging of the Soviet system coincided with the aging of the Soviet leaders.Andropov, who was the KGB chairman, and as I read it I had a funny feeling."Maybe they have something very important which makes them think that way."The Soviet leadership understood that they would simply be incapable of keeping up the arms race with the United States.Americans were preparing fertile grounds to attack the Soviets.You know, just working with the people, public opinion.CI Centre Professor Oleg D.Born in Leningrad in 1934, his father was an officer in Stalin's NKVD.KGB for foreign intelligence work, serving in the First Chief
