The Spy and the Traitor - 9
Summary No. 9.
The way the KGB managed itself was incredibily both complex and incoherent. The KGB would go to any lengths to obtain what it wanted. There was no ethical restraint in its operations. And yet, the KGB issued a copious amount of rules that regulated its agents’ lives. These rules took on a religion-like devotion* by the KGB top seniors, and breaking one of them would spell disaster. Of course, all of this partly extended to political Soviet thinking as well. For example, being gay in the Soviet Union was illegal, but that did not preclude the KGB from recruiting them as spies. Gay agents proved useful to cultivate, and then blackmail, gay targets. Divorce was legal but plainly frowned upon within the KGB. A married agent posted abroad was less likely to defect whilst his or her partner and family were still in Soviet soil. This for the simple reason the KGB could held the latter as hostages. So, the KGB would downgrade any divorced agent and assign them to boring, not important desk jobs at the KGB headquarters in Moscow.
*By "a religion-like devotion" I meant that the KGB top seniors were deeply obsessed with the rules and strongly demanded that everyone follow them (the rules).
