Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world. More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilise Western democracy. 610 10 $a Soviet Union. $b Komitet gosudarstvennoiÌ bezopasnosti $x History. 610 20 $a Federalʹnaiï¸ a︡ sluzhba bezopasnosti Rossii $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000122484753 650 0 $a Cold War. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign relations $z Western countries. 651 0 $a Western countries $x Foreign relations $z Soviet Union. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z Western countries. 651 0 $a Western countries $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Ukraine $x History $y Russian Invasion, 2022- 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780861545339 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011715.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E01D1B2328C11EEBDD4A74441ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
