Former KGB General Describes Continuing Russian Espionage
Oleg Kalugin, who spent 32 years rising to the rank of Major General in
the former Soviet KGB before breaking with the Communist Party and
retiring in 1990, told a rapt audience on April 12th that Russian
intelligence services are still quite active today in the US and are
interested mostly in stealing economic, technical and scientific
intelligence. According to Kalugin, Russian intelligence services and
agents use different covers today than in the past, relying less on
state institutions (such as TASS or Radio Moscow, which provided
Kalugin's cover during his career as an agent in the US) and more on
private companies, joint ventures, scientific exchanges and
international institutions. Kalugin, who first came to the US during
the height of the cold war in 1958 as a KGB agent masquerading as a
Fulbright exchange scholar, now lives and works in the Washington, D.C.
area as a lecturer and consultant.
Kalugin's presentation ranged over the history of Soviet intelligence
from the immediate post-Russian civil war period in 1921 to the 1930s,
1940s, 50s and 60s. He described a KGB during the height of the cold
war that concentrated on discrediting the US "capitalist system" through
hundreds of agents and a wide range of active measures (disinformation,
books, movies, articles, conferences etc.) while showing the
"progressive" Soviet system in the best possible light. In the early
days of Soviet intelligence, right up through World War II and the
1950s, the Soviets relied heavily on ideological appeals to recruit
agents. Communism, he said, was associated in the minds of many
sympathizers with the highest ideals of western civilization.
Khrushchev's revelations of Stalin's brutal crimes caused much
disillusionment. When appeals to idealism no longer worked, the KGB
turned to career disgruntlement, blackmail and money as the most
effective recruiting tools. Money, Kalugin pointed out, was used to
enlist Navy warrant officer John Walker, who did immense damage to US
security by providing cryptographic information that, according to a
former CIA official quoted by Kalugin, could have had war-winning
implications for the Soviets.
