The Spy and the Traitor - 12

Summary no. 12.
This is a real story.

Everything was working out for Oleg in appealing, marvellous Copenhagen. He relished every aspect of the city. He was living a life of ease to the point he thought he was no longer shadowed, unlike back over in Moscow. However, the Danish intelligence service—PET, the Danish acronim—knew better. PET had kept a wary eye on this outwardly Soviet diplomat since he set foot in Denmark. Although they weren’t completely sure, the Danes suspected Oleg was KGB. The more the Danes watched him, the more they felt sure they were on to something. Still, the KGB was no fool either. Having penetrated the PET radio network, the KGB was able to work out shifts and whereabouts of PET surveillance teams. Thus, KGB agents could most of the time carry out their operations under the PET radar.

On his arrival back home from a dinner with a Danish couple—who he was cultivating—Oleg knew at once that the PET had slipped in and wired up the whole place. Of course, he had to stick to his persona, keeping any signs of knowledge from his demeanour. To do otherwise would’ve given him away. From that on, he and his wife were careful about what and how they talked at home.

Astonishingly, despite the KGB seemed to be one step ahead, PET managed to spot Oleg buy an homosexual porn magazine—Oleg later stated that he bought it out of curiosity since he and his wife didn't know anything about homosexuals—in the red light district of the city. That information alone could expose Oleg to blackmail. It was gold information. PET passed it on to selected allies, and they all agreed to bide their time. Though a question mark appeared across Western files on Oleg.
