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.

My first opportunity to actually meet any Russian people came in Venice. We anchored in the harbor, and boats took us in to the city for liberty, or business, or to catch travel connections. The first thing to catch a person's eye as he approached Venice, was a huge tour ship. As is normal, the tour ship had a number of healthy, attractive females aboard. But, we were warned NOT to approach any of the people from that ship. We were to report ANY contact with any of those tourists. Names, descriptions, addresses, anything we might learn from them was to be reported - along with photographs, if possible.
Basically, no Russian was permitted to travel abroad, unless he had been briefed on how to approach an American. I don't remember all the details of our own briefing, but we were not to associate with anyone from that ship, because chances were, the nympho wasn't a nympho at all. Instead, she was an agent, entrapping innocent American sailors in a sex scandal.
I never did quite figure that out, really. I mean, really, for real - when we hit the beach, we were on a mission to find pussy. We were pretty much equal opportunity - if it had a reasonable body temperature (between 90 and 110) it was eligible. We knew that, the host city knew that, everyone knew that. So - I pick up a Russian chick, we bang our brains out, and she takes some photos, right? Then, she wants to blackmail me? ROFLMAO - someone interviews me, I flat out tell them, "Yeah, she and I fucked the night away. Why do you want to know? Oh - no - I'm not getting any intel for you. You're going to tell my captain that I impregnated one of your nationals? Hell, Buddy, let's you and I go together, right now, and we can both tell the Captain how good Russian pussy is!"
In real life, I obeyed orders, and avoided that cruise ship, and anyone who appeared to be, or sounded like they might be Rusian.
Which sucked. I happen to think that Russian women are often better looking than Italian women. Some of those Italian women had more mustache than I had at that time!

Isn't it obvious to even you, that SOMEONE found my comment interesting? But, some spiteful shite modded the comment down - hmmm - wonder who? I did ask you whether you have a life or not.

I've been modding most of your comments down because they're borderline off-topic...honestly, you sound like you have early-onset dementia, and you also sound more than a little bit like Ye Great Orange Arse'ole up in the White House, with your weird mix of off-the-mark insults, grandiose self-flattery, and rambling. You're old before your time and your lifestyle is not doing you any favors.

Such pettiness. And, no, I didn't moderate your post - yet anyhow. Some other individual decided that he didn't like your trolling.
But, whatever. You do realize that you're aging. You are no spring chicken. Even if I accept your statement that you are half my age, you're over the hill. Menopause will be sneaking up on you soon.

Wait, I'm 32...I thought you were 40-something? Are you actually in your 60s? Lawdy, lawdy, that makes you even sadder. Old enough to remember when Michael Jackson was black and you're still this self-destructive and ignorant...
