KGB Training Manuals Revealed

Last year and earlier this year, The Interpreter published a series of four articles in the Daily Beast on hitherto secret KGB training manuals.

Now all (eight of) these manuals (are) available to be downloaded in the Russian original, and also providing some translations of the table of contents and notes and summary translations of the contents for four of the manuals not previously covered.

The still-classified manuals expose the devious methods of the Soviet Union’s secret police not only to surveil but suborn their own citizens and foreigners in a vast project to extend the Kremlin’s power around the world.

These internal documents from the 1970s and 1980s were used in an era before the Internet and mass electronic surveillance.

Yet what is most intriguing about them is that these same methods are still used today — and now amplified with new technology.

Words that strangely show up when doing a Russian language word search of the documents.....Obamanovski, Clintonevski, Schiffski.

I think you have “KGB Training Manual” and “War and Peace” mixed up.

Boris and Natasha were Tolstoy’s way of punishing College students for Generations... he left out the squirrel and moose.

#4. One story has it that Clinton’s Moscow roommate was the son of the head of the Czech Intelligence Service, the STB. (The STB was used to help the PLO carry out at least one assassination, that of the head of the Jewish Agency, in Prague.

This might have appeared in the Testimony of Yuri Krotkov (Karlin) in the early 1970’s by the Senate Jud. Com., Subcommittee on Internal Security.

I was a 19yo, and more interested in exploring Belgian women and beer than KGB and leftist radicals. And since the only woman on your list was a commie-professor — and sure looks the part (sorry: http://www.ingridrollema.nl/ingrid/GL2_11_17_Russell_bestanden/image005.jpg), I definitely never met anyone on your list.

Did meet a few more interesting girls at parties at Leuven la Neuve...

Victor Madeira, an expert on Soviet and Russian intelligence at the institute for Statecraft, estimates that there are between 280,000 to 480,000 people in the GRU, 387,000 people in the FSB; and, 13,000 people in the SVR. In total, therefore, he estimates there are between 680,000 and 880,000 people in these three agencies alone. For means of comparison, the uK has just 16,868 people devoted to intelligence and security across all of its seven agencies.
