KGB Documents Detailing Who's Who In Soviet Spying Have Finally Been Published
Breaking Newstags: KGB, Soviet Spy
The papers spent years hidden in a milk churn beneath a Russian dacha and read like an encyclopedia of Cold War espionage.
Original documents from one of the biggest intelligence leaks in history — a who's who of Soviet spying — were released Monday after being held in secret for two decades.
