Soviet Atomic Spies Soviet espionage was firmly established long before the first atomic bomb was made. The most enduring impact of Soviet intelligence on the Third World before the Second World War was the liquidation of potential leaders of post - war independence movements. After victory in the Second World War, the Soviet Union, newly strengthened by the acquisition of an obedient Soviet bloc in eastern and central Europe, initially showed less interest in the Third World than after the Bolshevik Revolution. During the early years of the Cold War, Soviet intelligence priorities were overwhelmingly concentrated on the struggle against the United States and its principal allies.The nature of Russian espionage was not unknown before 1939 and more and more events of mid - fifties of 20thcentury revealed many of its workings. The story of atomic espionage proper begins with the Canadian spy case of 1945. The year 1949 brought the Russians on the World atomic map when the first atomic explosion occurred in the USSR, though the official announcement was made much later, say after two years.This book highlights the secrets of Russian espionage, potential atomic resources and use of their atomic power for spying. Inclusion of the details of Russian Spy Organization, recruitment of spies, security, sabotage activities, case histories as revealed by the Russian spies who were caught or defected to other countries, have made the book very informative for the defense forces, security analysts, intelligence organizations, administrators, and the like.ISBN - 9788170494577
