Tongue and Cheek view of the KGB! Don’t over react KGB ( You have to tell them, don’t want them to over react ). Its the silly season in political terms.
Just re - watched the TV version of Smiley’s People with the late great Sir Alec Guinness, this version should be taught at the new version of the KGB in Moscow. It a story of legends ( cover stories for long term agents ) and how they are created, a legend should not provoke interest, a long term agent should not be on the cover of the Russia FHM. It shows how down hill Russian Intelligence has gone, it overkills a Russian in London with nuclear material, its agents are third rate, Mr Smiley would no pass them for service, even looking after his wife or whiskey, one has to wonder why we bothered to play the Great Game with Russia and then USSR, our Intelligence did not have a fit or equal competition, just look at the drunk coup attempt of 1991, all those people lost and money spent on dust in the bin of history.
