In Moscow at the end of 70's spyware history it was possible to get even by accident. You walk in the park, pick up a stone from the ground, but it is not simple: it contains money, decorations, small tapes and a note - "Comrade! You accidentally penetrated into someone else's secret, picking up things that are not meant for you! Save yourself money and gold, throw the rest of the contents into the river and forget about everything! "
In those days, there was a peak of global confrontation between the two superpowers - the Soviet Union and the United States. It manifested itself in all spheres, which led to a surge in espionage activity in both countries. It was a kind of competition between two professional teams that were just a few kilometers away from each other: the Americans were in their embassy, ours were in Lubyanka.
In the documentary film by Alexander Sladkov, members of the Soviet and American intelligence services for the first time share the details of unique operations.
