Talk:KGB - State Security Committee USSR/@comment-17213501-20130912164139/@comment-17719423-20130912173947

The agency favoured "Active Measures" to protect the Soviet Union from anyone that came in the state or that was simply considered a threat to the political movement, measures that involved: ● Intercepting calls ● Altering official documents ● Assessinations ● Political repression ● Persecution ● And even the penetration of churches

Investigations, criminal or not, involved mainly foreigners and anyone who was a suspect of being against the government; diplomats and tourists were monitored by KGB agents or spies that used persuasion methods like threats, bribery and seduction, all valid.
