india oh geez available in the movie go to the joint be the children's movie that's the gateway her to the grand imperial towards the towards west coast coromandel you kind of let her tell her to say don't need to go clear brother said the colonel was her job as a retreat. and . all. the men knew when that president had been at the german chancellor merkel messing about in books which the issue of the incessant community was not the famous pool. they were invited president obama to meet budgets. know when to in selling to the us the war in afghanistan has now become washington's our longest ever minute you campaign in broad support of in.

from the halls of the beginning of cooperation between the u.s. and the soviet union at the height of the cold war the apollo soyuz space mission happened that she. talks to a former k.g.b. officer to find out what could be happening behind the scenes of the latest spy saga between moscow and washington to go away. just days after the false over the russian american spy scandal seem to have faded the way the story has taken and all the terror and the u.s. deported and now the person who could be implicated in this part so the saudis certainly far from over will we see more arrests and what will the future hold for those already disclosed and will the story

a fact that we sat in relations between the two countries to discuss the issues here with me is former k.g.b. officer elected to put an end to thank you very much for being with us. thank you for having me. ten people have already pleaded guilty to being agents for russia one more has just been deported how come so many people were caught at once just not very good at their job. but it's hard for me to answer this question as i had no direct connection to this case or. i can only use data from the u.s. department of justice that was published and posted on the internet it was used as grounds for this report has some information on what this group had been working on over the ten years i certainly do have many questions about some of the things i saw in that report i mean the safety of people working group and work principles for an intelligence agent such as conspiracy principles during the ten years their

homes were secretly searched this is something one should be able to detect staying in a pawn and territory any secret agent understands their opponent he should be able to detect signs of such activity like whether he's under surveillance i think during these ten years they would have noticed suspicious signs of someone watching over them could we suggest that someone has betrayed them and if so who could be behind it. i believe the chances are that the information leak took place as a result of possible treason that happened at. about the same time as their work started all i can do is make suggestions it could have been treason by members of this group or others involved in this work or information leak as a result of negligence in regards to conspiracy and safety principle is. usually what happens to spies that have already been disclosed how their careers shaped after the reveal. that it depends on their status whether they are regular

intelligence officers or whether they are just assisting persons involved in the service then those who serve the reasons for the failure of an agent or an assistant also affects what happens after this analysis is going to be a low professionalism or unforseen circumstances such as another individual street which means that it wasn't the agent's fault i myself was affected by the board and like that i was working under the so-called legal cover over u.s. embassy workers xico as a result of a political campaign five of us were declared persona non grata and thrown out of mexico as well didn't happen then how did that affect my life in particular to some extent my further business travel opportunities were limited i wasn't allowed to a number of the so-called main added three countries on the other hand i was transferred to another category of the call spies intelligence needs such blown agents for assignments in situations where they don't want to risk non blown agents so i started working in this area therefore when experienced agents who work for

a long time fail for various reasons they can then be used in all kinds of areas intelligence has a very wide range of working areas they can keep regular workers and use them in the field of training and education for instance. the u.s. secretary says say they've been on the tail of the russian agents for almost a decade why did it take so much time for them to bust the spy ring it's been described by many experts as amateur. border. reserve a series get signs that certain individuals may be suspected of being involved in unacceptable activities such as intelligence work deploying an entire range of operational tools at their disposal. it's in order to determine whether these individuals are really able to damage the national security of the country where they are stationed they don't just have to determine that such activities were performed they have to record these facts in order to present them to the relevant judicial authorities proving someone is

a spy isn't an easy task in any case intelligence doesn't decide this they report to a higher state officials. anywhere it's a complicated process but ten years isn't that. indeed it may be a little bit too much but there's another thing graduating with i call it the paradox and drama of intelligence when intelligence receives an assignment it all happens in a particular setting a particular political situation while the secret service is doing its work the setting can change on the political level those who assigned the task may now have completely different relations with the country involved therefore even though the secret service did manage to prove something the political landscape requires a different attitude and a different implementation of these data let's use iraq as an example the cia knew for sure that saddam hussein's regime didn't own weapons of mass destruction but they received an assignment from higher political state authorities to provide the

documents proving otherwise therefore they started working to obtain such data even though they knew it wasn't anywhere to be found nonetheless in the course of this work and in which of saddam hussein as the national and then the international enemy was used to fulfill higher political tasks but when it all happened and they realized there really was no weapons of mass destruction the secret service was betrayed the guilty party initiating the entire search for proof and they were punished for it too. so do you mean something has changed in the russian american relations. considering this work started ten years ago at that time our relations were different and american state authorities had a different attitude toward such actions the secret services were doing their job whether they found evidence or illegitimate actions or not everything points to the fact that they didn't find them so it's either they were doing a bad job or they were doing such a good job or those who were under their surveillance weren't working at all the

political situation has changed i believe the recent visits and meetings at the top level are a step towards an era of recovering the kind of relations the us and the u.s.s.r. used to have during say well what to what should we do in the present situation should we keep working even though we know there's nothing to be found that in these twelve days that shook the world we thought our relations were about to explode again in spite of the recent warming and rapid developments and almost every african solution and i p look a happy ending for both countries everybody is happy relations seem even stronger now and a compromise found the solution was found unbelievably quickly these events are the top level of intelligence work during the cold war it used to take years to prepare such swaps as it turns out now to some extent the foundation was laid even before this issue was made public. because one side was already prepared for it and the other one was interested in doing it smoothly in the current situation either one wanted to use this opportunity to gain is grain of gold this would be the purpose

of all previous achievements i mean the summit during the russian president's visit to the us. how do you think were these people these particular people were really in a position to threaten u.s. national interests. i didn't see it in the information that i came across. russia and the u.s. have swapped is this how these kind of stories usually and. every situation is unique therefore i cannot give you a general answer actions on both sides in similar cases have certain principles but this can all change depending on the situation at a given moment the case could be suspended in order to wait for something to make a solution easier or it could be better to resolve it immediately like in this case even during the cold war there were channels enabling one side or another to initiate a swap this is a very delicate matter as it has to meet the interests of both sides and to bring three main aspects together i mean political operational and legislative ones

legislative points or political goals can differ between two countries at one point or another also they have to consider whether this could have a negative effect on the operational aspect of the matter therefore this used to take a long time for example the swap of abel he was arrested in one thousand fifty seven and this was for powers who had been shot down in one thousand sixty and put in jail two took place in one thousand nine hundred two this means he spent five years in jail this was a model d. for u.k. citizen and when regarding the case of been gorski also took a long time he was arrested in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and i think he was released in one nine hundred sixty four another couple of illegal agents were arrested regarding the case when they returned to moscow in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine these were the terms of negotiating and approving those swaps you can understand things were changing during that time whereas in this case i repeat these were twelve days that shook the world it fired up swiftly and and it happily. but this case is extraordinary russians having swapped for russians and

ten for four do you think the leg this is a fair swap do. you think is i was very much surprised i come from the cold war there were no precedents where russians were exchanged for russians but now as we can see from statements by administration officials and from the media this unequal exchange was instigated by the us side that wish to receive the persons they had named the result is a consensus and a compromise both sides are satisfied and the problem solved. how do you think this case will affect. u.s. efforts to reset relations with the what if we take the broad dame's any such war office chances for warming and we can see it i believe as a first step to revival but others say it's a time bomb under good relations it's hard to judge i told the media that this war should be followed with a joint post-mortem involving spy hunters on the both sides we all talk about some

political consequences but we don't talk about people's plates these people have picked a lucky ticket they were not convicted of spying in the united states but in a different situation the political decision making would have been different and then this evidence might have entailed some serious consequences in court and these people would have for years or even decades found themselves in a situation with terms much worse than what they got as a result and the other man had their prison terms reduced to which side has benefited more. food. judging by the reactions both sides are such as fired by this i was come it's a happy ending and both sides demonstrate as much. why do americans need mysis a tag and who is already serving his sentence can you read them with. this question should be posed to the americans i only know the open charges against

a judge some say he was feeding open stock that he had summed up with the fact that it became secret others say he was feeling nothing at all still others say he had meetings with spies how can i make an assumption is on the basis of all this. the wall street journal recently wrote that the historical swap deal will allow the russian leaders to feel like they're back in the time of us soviet parity do you agree with it. but. this particular conclusion doesn't follow from this event it's comical in my view in principle these are side effects these kinds of events do happen periodically in interstate relations national interests do die birch and after their society ceased to exist it was claimed that the intelligence service no longer had friends or foes and began minding national interests here the secret services are always guided by u.s. national security interests is something cropped up in u.s. territory they sought to neutralize it while outside u.s.

territory they viewed stress globally no matter where they merged and took steps to neutralize them as well. do you think the country's soon point is a kind of a bad habit dating back to cold war the one we rather to get through. as long as the student of the state is in existence within the human community or intelligence services will exist as well methods change but principles as ascribed in the bible persist to this day but the information revolution doesn't affect intelligence priorities of course. thank you very much a leg for joining us. i
