Dmitri Fyodorovich : The Crown Jewel

The Soviet Union controlled every attribute of their economy and focused in developing a strong and self-sufficient country. The Soviet became the superpower of the west as their military strengthened and their prevailing economy influenced other countries to follow their communist ways. But the Soviet’s accomplishment came with secrecy only an insider would recognize. The British intelligence recruited a Russian double agent as he escaped house arrest as the Soviet became suspicious. The double agent Intel displayed the deceiving economy of the Soviet Union.

It all started in 1979 when FBI agent Robert Hanssen, using the pseudonym “B” committed espionage against the United States for the former Soviet Union and later on the Russian Federation. Mr. Hanssen’s spying activities against the United States were conducted over three different phases over 22 years. While working as an FBI Agent at the Bureau’s Soviet Counterintelligence Division in New York City and at different leadership posts in Washington, DC, Mr. Hanssen provided the Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti (KGB) and later on the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation the identities of Russian spies, two of which were executed as a result. Mr. Hanssen also provided over 6000 national security classified documents

On a day to day bases, men and women in prison or jail are dehumanized and terrorized by their superiors or even their inmates in the Criminal Justice System. The inmates that are in this situation are usually physically, emotionally, and mentally abused, they are often deprived of meals and are belittled. The inmates in this situation have no other choice but adapt to their best ability of the harsh situation they are founded in or be broken and taken over by the system they are forced to be a part of. Is it true that a person in difficult situations needs to be indifferent of their past because being nostalgic can only hurt them? Or does the harsh situation they become a custom to make it easier to forget their past life?. Solzhenitsyn uses Shukhov’s indifferent attitude towards his past to illustrate that a person cannot be nostalgic because it can lead to one’s self-destruction.

The Cold War took place after World War II between the years of 1947 and 1991. It was a struggle for supremacy between both the United States and the Soviet Union. The Cold War was to dominate international affairs for decades. Major crises occurred such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Hungary and the Berlin Wall being just some of the resulting issues. For many, the growth in weapons of mass destruction was the most worrying issue because it is always unknown as to what they could be used for. Neither side ever fought the other because the casualties would be tragic, but they did ‘fight’ for their beliefs using client states who fought for their beliefs on

Representatives. Petrov was sent to Australia with the intention to spy on Soviet citizens, infiltrate and destabilise anti-Soviet communities and to obtain general political intelligence. However he was unsuccessful in developing a spy network and therefore feared the return back to his homeland.

There were only a couple of situations of combat, but the majority of the war was the United States and the Soviet Union competing to be the best. One aspect they were competing in was who could build nuclear weapons first. In this paper, I will be covering the Rosenbergs - what they did and their trial, their punishment, and other spies during the cold war. During

Gaddis’s novel, The Cold War follows the events of The Cold War in a clear, comprehensive, chronological order. In order to provide the reader with a better grasp of events covered in the volume, Gaddis delivers a brief overview of World War II before delving into the history of the Cold War itself. By reading this work, one can learn of the devious and sometimes underhanded plans that cunning leaders took in order to secure security and prosperity for both their nations and themselves. However, one also learns of bold, daring moves

Looking at the impact of spies throughout history, it is easy to focus on the adversaries’ spies and the impact they have had on America. However, more important is the impact that American spies have had on shaping the country and the world. There have been many spies that have benefited America throughout our brief history; however, none may have been as impactful as Virginia Hall was in the events surrounding World War Two. Examining Virginia Hall’s background, efforts leading up to war, actions during the war, and postwar career show Hall’s vast impact on not only on American, but also World events.

Americans greatly preferred as well as followed spy stories and all of them were presented by the British Authors, but Mickey Spillane presented his best sellers for incorporating and presenting the themes of Cold war. Basically, from the mid sixties to the late seventies the ambiguous spy formula was pioneered by various authors such as Ambler, Greene and Le Carre. The importance in this is laid on the Culture of National Security, as it has tried to create many assumptions and formulation of policy which would adhere the administration of Reagan. The author clearly aimed at bringing the theme of enduring mythology of American Exceptionalim such as moral, technological and political issues along with Tom

However, one of the biggest turning points in Angleton’s career, and one of the most contentious parts of his legacy, was on the horizon. Anatoliy Golitsyn was a Major in the KGB and, in 1961, defected to the West with his family. Described by Mangold as a somewhat “ordinary” KGB officer, he defected without providing much in the way of viable intelligence and showed a penchant for paranoia and an overblown self-importance. It is highly probably that Golitsyn today would not rank among even the top 100 most interesting spies in Cold War history if it were not for and association that Golitsyn made with Angleton, at the time about the most powerful man at the CIA. Due to this association, Golitsyn has been believed by some to be the most significant defector in CIA history, not so much for the information provided, which Holzman notes is “debate[d] – among people who debate such things,” but for how his defection impacted the paranoia and career of Angleton.

The conundrum Truman had, was a direct representation of how much the intelligence community did not agree that the Soviets were not allies anymore. Intelligence documents illustrate such. Before the blockade, although the idea of aggression was entertained, it was not reported as a real possibility.26 Some reports even claim that the Soviets had no intention of blockading Berlin, but instead hampering the intelligence community’s effectiveness.27 However, the intelligence community was changing illustrated by this statement, “Sokolovsky’s reply to Robertson (text in mytel 1543, June 301) can obviously be considered as preparation for Soviet reversal of Berlin blockade. It is, however, typical Soviet example of vague and implied promises and

Throughout history, human nature has facilitated a predisposition for holding and acquiring secrets. This acquisition of intangible information often played out as a chess game and piqued our inherent desire to manipulate minds. Over time, as warfare became more and more technologically proficient, humans adapted their self-driven procurement of social secrets into a sophisticated network of battlefield espionage. Beginning in World War II and continuing into the 1960’s, Virginia Hall exemplified both the thrill seeker’s inner satisfaction and the professional spy’s execution of tradecraft driven espionage.

They were both in the very beginning when you got your mission briefing. Then there is Sokolov. Sokolov was not based on someone specifically, but based on the many defectors from Russia to America. The fear that they had trying to get past the berlin wall is present in this briefing, and when you meet Sokolov. They also bring up in the mission briefing the cuban missile crisis, the berlin wall, the nuclear arms race between Russia and America. They talked about how the Cuban missile crisis and how it was resolved. It was resolved when we reached an agreement that if the Russians took missiles out of cuba and stopped supplying cuba, we would have to completely remove ourselves from turkey. When they talked about the nuclear arms race they showed testing of nuclear bombs and they talked about the tension between the two superpowers, because of it. In it’s simplest form America and Russia were trying to be more threatening to the other, which lead to constant nuclear testing and a ton of weapons being made. The whole espionage in the game in general shows a little bit about the cold war as well for example of espionage in the cold war, there was a man named Klaus Fuchs who was exposed in 1950 as one of the most valuable people to the “american

Konstantin E. Tsiolkovski was another famous man. He was an astronautics pioneer. He taught astronautics,( technology that can travel above the earth’s atmosphere), and about human space travel. He is the creator of cosmonautics,(astronautics), and that humans can go into space with a rocket. He made a rocket equation based on Newton’s second law of motion. Because he showed everyone they could use a rocket to get to space themselves, he is a very important influence to how rockets orbiting the moon all started. Hermann Oberth had a book called By Rocket To Space. This book talked about the mathematics, and science of rockets. This helped get rocketeers motivated. Everyone got motivated to create more rockets. And so more and more rockets evolved.

The last son of Fyodor Karamazov was a bastard, born from the town’s holy fool. Although it is not entirely known whether Fyodor was the true father of Smerdyakov, he was widely believed to be so. Smerdyakov was raised by Gregory and his wife after his mother died during childbirth and later worked as Fyodor’s personal cook. As a child, Smerdyakov “loved to hang cats and then bury them with great ceremony” (Dostoevsky, 1981). As an adult, he was unsociable, arrogant, and despised everyone. Smerdyakov had no use for religion and suffered from epilepsy from an early age. Despite all of these things, Fyodor considered Smerdyakov to be a completely honest man, whilst the townspeople considered him to be a fool like his mother.
