Vassili Mitrokhin, a former KGB archives officer, handed over thousands of documents to the British secret service, copied one by one over 20 years of service. He would thus reveal virtually every KGB secret, including: 77 agents in the US (notably Robert Libka at the National Security Agency (NSA)) and hundreds of informants; the location of hundreds of boxes buried with explosives and devices to be used in the event of a conflict with the West (the boxes were actually found, many were rigged); the KGB’s forgeries to further the conspiracy theory surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy (in particular, the first book on the conspiracy, in 1964, was published on the orders of the KGB, and some of Oswald’s letters were falsified); Operation Pandora: attacks in New York’s ghettos to spark a race war in the US; the indirect pressure on Martin Luther King Jr. to increase the level of violence; The Simons case: a British KGB playboy agent who for several years deceived 3-4 secretaries a month; scientific-technological espionage, or the KGB’s greatest success: 70% of the Warsaw Pact’s military technology was of Western origin; the British spy Norwood, who in 1948 allowed the Russians to enrich uranium for their first atomic bomb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
