Yuri Shvets, former spy of the First Main Administration of the KGB of the USSR (employee of the Washington residence in 1985-1987) and former classmate of Vladimir Putin at the Red Flag Institute named after JV Andropov (now the Academy of Foreign Intelligence), currently resident in the United States, writes in one of his interviews about Putin: “The inferiority complex was immortalized in his entire figure and face. Such a person could not be sent abroad as a spy, because on his face it was written: “Recruit me!”.
Boriss Grigorjev, colonel, worked under diplomatic cover from 1966 to 1996 in the residences of the foreign secret services in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Teravmäge, recalls: «All secret services make use of volunteers of good will for cooperation and often achieve good results. There was no shortage of candidates or volunteers in my business bio. You just had to make sure the applicant was real and had not undergone prior counterintelligence training.”
