This is the first of a three-part series based on never-before-published training manuals for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence organization that Vladimir Putin served as an operative, and that shaped his view of the world. Its veterans still make up an important part of now-Russian President Vladimir Putin's power base. All were trained in the same dark arts, and these primers in tradecraft are essential to an understanding of the way they think and the way they operate.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Actually the US had at one point a fairly extensive program to translate scientific papers professionally out of eastern block countries. I don't know if it is still going on but I would imagine that it likely is. I know this because my father-in-law use to do this work on the side in the late 70s and 80s. None of it was classified work but it wouldn't surprise me if some of what he did was fed into classified work by the government so that they could better translate classified technical material better. He was a PhD holding physicist who worked in semiconductor design (analogue signal pre-amp design in private sector) and is fluent in Russian as that was the language he chose to learn in college.
