The Cold War rivalry between the KGB and the CIA has always been a focus of public attention, but it became particularly pronounced in the 1980s, dubbed by historians the "decade of espionage."
The author details the CIA's exploits in Russia during that period, the methods and techniques used by Americans to recruit our compatriots, and the CIA's tactics for maintaining covert contacts with its agents. The author chronologically details the KGB's most successful and unsuccessful operations against American intelligence agencies from the 1970s to the 1990s.
A special place in the author's narrative is given to the "Phantom" operational game—a unique counterintelligence operation carried out by the KGB, according to CIA experts, at a highly professional level. Filmmakers based the story on this operation on the eight-part television series "Where the Motherland Begins."
For the first time, the reader is introduced to the inner world of the counterintelligence unit that specialized in working with American diplomatic intelligence officers, and specific employees are named who laid the foundation for modern methods of developing employees of the CIA embassy station in Moscow.
