- Daily Mail writes that Epstein was connected with the KGB, communicated with Putin and was generally somehow connected with Russia. And this is not surprising. Epstein visited Russia many times. The only question is, WHAT EXACTLY was he doing here? #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #KGB

- Who was the most productive #KGB agent in Washington, DC in the early 1980s (before Ames & Hanssen)? In his memoir Washington Station (1994), former #KGB officer Yuri Shvets claimed that this agent was a janitor cleaning the offices of major Pentagon contractors in Rosslyn. ⬇️
- #KGB defector Vladimir Kuzichkin wrote that he & his fellow cadets at the Red Banner Institute had access to James Bond films & were not upset with how they portrayed Soviet intel officers. Their attitude was "the more primitive you imagine us to be, the worse for you."

- #CIA-funded Joint Publications Research Service translated several Soviet spy fiction novels in the 1970s but only one of them was written by #KGB officers. Rezident's Mistake was the first in a trilogy of novels on KGB counterintelligence. I discuss all three in #KGBLiterati.
- In 1985, Lithuanian #KGB Tech Services prepared a 7-page secret memo listing "potential signs" the letter was sent by, or to, foreign intel. Some signs: cheap envelope, large spaces between the words, "thin" letter (2 pages or less), clearly written address, no dates, etc.

- In mid-February 1965, the Sino-Soviet Study Group of the UK Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) discussed #KGB spy fiction based on a report provided by #CIA. I discuss the content of this CIA report in my new book #KGBLiterati.
- In 1987, "'Quiet' Americans: On #CIA Activities Against USSR" edited by A. Fabanov & R. Sergeyev was published in Moscow. But there is a problem. Neither Fabanov nor Sergeyev existed. The real editors were Arkady Fabrichnikov & Rem Krasilnikov, two top #KGB CI officers.
