KGB sex espionage

It was the USSR that established one of the most sophisticated special services in the world, which trained female spies to seduce men. There has been a book put out recently about sex spying. A girl named Vera narrated the story about KGB and how they recruited pretty girls, promising them that they would have all kinds of welfare imaginable, if they would agree to fulfil their civil duty and become sex agents. They were trying to deliver them from any shyness or shame, teaching them sex techniques, showing perverted pornographic videos. Girls were supposed to be able to execute any task. A lesbian orgy was one of practical classes, teachers would join that orgy too, the whole event was filmed and then the tape was discussed in detail by the whole group of participants.

"We were told that we were soldiers and that our weapon was our bodies. When the training was finished, we became sexually sophisticated women, we were ready to sleep with any man, if there was such an order for that," Vera said.

The objects of sexual attack were examined thoroughly beforehand, it was requisite to learn their sexual preferences, in order not to miss anyone. The first contact with an object was supposed to be totally incidental, but it was all over with blackmail: they explained to a guy that he had no other way out, but to cooperate with the Soviet intelligence.
However, surprised happened sometimes too, like it was with the notorious case for seducing Indonesian President Ahmed Sukarno. He was known for his sexual passion. That is why KGB sent a group of young girls to him during his visit to Moscow. Those girls got acquainted with Ahmed Sukarno in a plane, under the disguise of air hostesses, then he invited them to his hotel room in Moscow and arranged a grand orgy. The orgy was filmed by two candid cameras that were fixed behind mirrors. It seemed that the operation was just perfect. Before starting the blackmail, KGB invited Sukarno in a small private movie theatre and showed him the pornographic video, in which he was playing the main part. KGB agents were expecting him to get really frightened, that he would agree to cooperate with them at once, but everything happened vice versa: Sukarno fondly decided that it was a gift from the Soviet government, so he asked for more copies to take them back to Indonesia and show them in movie theatres. Sukarno said to flabbergasted agents that the people of Indonesia would be very proud of him, if they could see him doing the nasty with Russian girls.

But it was not only KGB mastering sex espionage. The Irish used pretty girls for distracting soldiers' attention at their posts or near police stations during army operations. The British were not sitting on their hands too, they set up a sex squad in return. The intelligence opened two brothels in Belfast for blackmailing the leaders of local political movements and for obtaining intelligence information. Those brothels were packed with best prostitutes from all over Europe - they executed the tasks of the English intelligence for very good money. East-German intelligence progressed in the field of sex spying as well. They developed a plan for seducing lonely secretaries that worked in important state institutions of West Berlin. The first contact was supposed to happen on a bus stop, in a cafe, or during a lunch break. A guy would start making a conversation, and then there was a game of seduction. For example, a handsome, well-dressed man with a bouquet of flowers rings a bell of a lonely woman, and then he pretends that he knocked on a wrong door. He gallantly apologizes, gives her flowers, and the affair starts. The problem with lonely secretaries that worked in secret institutions of West Berlin was so serious that NATO authorities ordered to hang posters on the walls of their offices, telling them to keep their hearts closed.

Elizabeth Bentley was a beautiful American woman active as a spy for the Soviets in the 1940s. She was recruited and fell in love with her controller, Jacob Golos, who held her to the cause by frequent sex. She was able to seduce at least eighty American officials (mostly Army intelligence officers) to capture valuable "pillow talk" for the Soviets. Golos also ran several other agents in the U.S. about the same time. The Golos network came down when she fell in love with an FBI agent.

Lizi Friedman was another beautiful Russian spy (a Jewish woman from Austria) active in the WW II period. She apparently specialized in turning MI6 and American agents with her exciting lovemaking in the snow.

Maria Knuth was a German cabaret dancer recruited by the Soviets for her beauty and abilities with sexual favors to attract British and American officials in the post WWII period. She was primarily used for counterintelligence purposes.

Larissa Dubanova was the Russian's most beautiful secret agent. Active during the 1950s, she was used when Russian intelligence would indicated one or more officers of the other side considered himself a "stud" with women. The KGB would then arrange to put Larissa somewhere within close distance of the "stud" where they could engage in sexy dialogue (she spoke perfect English and was a ballet dancer in the Bolshoi Theater). After a few sexual escapades, she would tell the stud that she was pregnant, and then the KGB would arrange a fake secret marriage, which was often against the law, and therefore provided a blackmail lever on the "stud".

Galya (last name is not known) was a Russian agent who specialized in becoming the maid for diplomats and ambassadors in embassies. The KGB would find out which officials had a taste for beautiful women, and then plant her in the job position, where she used sexy French maid clothing to entice the officials into workplace affairs. She then lured them into hotel rooms which were wired with videocameras. Galya was originally an attractive Russian prostitute recruited by the KGB (Normally, female spies are not recruited from the ranks of criminals).


Sonia (aka Ursula Beurton) was born in Germany as Ursula Kucynski and operated as a Soviet spy in Switzerland during a long espionage career spanning the 1940s and 1950s. Her English husband was also a Soviet spy. The Russians require espionage activity from both partners in their married spies. She seduced and recruited several British officials for the highly successful "Lucy" spy ring. Sonia was eventually brought down via an affair with another Soviet spy, a practice strongly prohibited in the spy world (sex is only allowed with the enemy).

Knife Fighting

Knives are an interesting category of weapon. They are capable of inflicting great damage yet they are freely available for purchase unlike guns, in the hands of a skilled knife-fighter they become much more dangerous. This article will portray a picture of knife fighting and issues connected to this skill.

Knife Types
There are only three types of knives worth discussing for our purposes. The simplest type of knife is the Full Tang Blade, this is a knife that has a handle molded to the extension of the blade, i.e. it consists of only one part of steel covered by a handle for grip. Another type is the Folding Blad which is the commonly known knife that can be compacted to half its size by folding the blade into the handle. And finally specialty knives such as belt buckle knives and credit card knives which exist in a category of their own.

Choosing a good Knife
Even with the wide proliferation of knife manufacturers good knives are hard to find, not any knife is suitable for knife combat. There are several factors to consider. The size of the knife is very important, although the largest knife is the best in practical civillian use a large knife can be uncomfortable to carry and very difficult to conceal. The generally accepted ideal knife size is a blade length of 3 inches and perhaps another 3 or 4 inches for the handle. At that size the knife can be carried comfortably, is of light weight and easy to conceal. Quality is another factor which can be very serious in the case of folding knives. A bad quality folding knife can close on the carrier's fingers when striking a target causing self injury, quality should always be a deciding factor in the case of folding knives. Folding knives are usually chosen because when closed for carry they are small in size fitting neatly into a trouser pocket. Unbranded steel types such as 'Stainless Steel' should be avoided as it is a sign of poor quality, it is preferable to select a special type of steel such as 'stainless steel 420' or 'stainless steel 440', other excellent choices are also available. Finally a few Full Tang knives come with their own carry system, i.e. a sheath in the form of shoulder carry or belt carry that allows the user to conceal the knife very easily. Prices for good knives can vary from $40 USD upto and more than $200 USD for the best.

Concealed Carry and Draw
Knives usually come with their own sheath, knives meant for civillian use come with their own concealed carry rigs such as the shoulder rig which carries a knife upside down on the left side (for right handed persons). This allows for a quick draw of the knife, a quick drawing of the knife into the combat position is essential in self defense situations, a knife fighter will have to be able to draw his knife into the attack position in 2 seconds. Anything slower will mean that the opponent will have time to react offensively.

Correct Mentality
When someone carries a knife for self defense that person has to be prepared to use that knife with lethal effect if necessary. In a self defense scenario there should be no doubt that the attacker intends to perform serious bodily damage, to prevent that from happening the knife user should be prepared to take any action necessary for self defense. Any hesitation or withdrawal from the fight could result in serious consequences.

Fighting Technique : Grip
The normal way a knife is usually held is the wrong way to hold a knife for fighting. The normal way is at fault because all the pressure on the handle of the knife is placed near the blade, on striking a hard target the knife will slip and cause self injury. This is the correct way to hold a knife; put the knife's handle at the base of your fingers, close your grip and apply pressure using the last three fingers, place the thumb on the blunt edge of the blade. This way a lot more pressure is applied on the handle and you are capable of sustaining large forces of impact on the knife's blade. The thumb is used to direct the blade to its target as you would naturally use your thumb to touch something.

Fighting Technique : Stance
The correct stance to use has to be such as to prepare the fighter for any sudden movements and shifts in position. This is usually done by placing the right foot forward and the left foot is kept at the back with the heel off the ground. This is the easiest position to use for the footwork.

Fighting Technique : Footwork
A fighter's body should be able to move in all directions either to avoid a strike by the attacker, to attack or carry out a combination of moves. Footwork will be used in combination with knife attack and defense moves.

Fighting Technique : Attack and Defense
The simplest knife moves are those of cuts and thrusts. According to fight science when applied to knife combat the knife should move as fast as possible when cutting or thrusting. To do this the arm should be relaxed during the carrying out of the move. A lot of strength is not so necessary as a knife blade will concentrate your energy into one sharp point. Defense moves are also in the form of cut and thrust where the attackers arm is damaged to limit further attacks.

Fighting Technique : Combinations
As with all fighting techniques attack, defense and footwork are all merged together into combinational movements with the objective of disabling the attacker.

Fighting Technique : DrillingGood
quality knives have special versions of the same with a blunt edged blade for use in training. Rubber knives are also available to this purpose. Knife training usually involves more than one person where one holds a stick covered with rubber or foam and the trainee practices moves on the moving target. As the trainee drills more the knife fighting technique develops into part of instinct allowing for very fast reactions to attacks and confidence in the field.

Fighting Technique : Targets
There are three major target groups in a knife fight, muscles and nerves, blood vessels and vital organs. severing the muscles and nerves disables the attacker's limbs eventually achieving the purpose of self defense. Severing blood vessels and vital organs causes eventual death, the last form of deterrent to an attacker.
