But silencing or neutraliz~ ng troublemakers is only a small part of the KGB's farflung as- signments. ‘As an instrument of totalitarian control, the KGB has no. peer, past of present. If the Soviet Communist Party is a state with- ‘state, the KGB is in fact the ‘sword and shield ofthe party, It penetrates every nook and cranny of Soviet life to control the words, actions, tastes, loyal- ties, and even of Soviet citizens. ‘As the obedient agent of the party, the KGB operates a Bor- der Guard, an elite military force ‘of 300,000" equipped with tanks, artillery, and armed ships. In 1965 KGB patrols captured more than 2,000 Soviet citizens, at- tempting to escape. The KGB ‘oversees the entire military es- tablishment and has agents and informers assigned to the Minis- try of Defense and in every mili- tary headquarters and unit down to the company level. "The slightest evidence of ideological deviation among the military can provoke swift KGB retribution. It was only in the late 1960s when “the military finally persuaded the leadership that it would be impractical to use atomic weap- ‘ons in a future internal struggle” that the KGB relinguished custo- dyjgfnuclear warheads. its complex of directo- rates, the KGB penetrates the entire state bureaucracy, start- ing with the Politburo. “The KGB today probably has more officers and aluima in positions of power than at any other time in ustory.” Of the 17 Politburo members in 1973, three have spent “signifi- cant portions of their careers in the apparatus.” While the full- lume staff of the KGB may be small as 100,000, its influence is vastly expanded’ by a network of informers — from the concierge in Kiev to the U'S. ambassador" ‘ullions. ‘THE KGB CONTROLS job and housing permits, internal and Police activity.

WHILE THERE ARE superfi- cial resemblances between the operations of the KGB abroad ‘and those of the clandestine serv- ices of Western governments, there is one profound difference. ‘The KGB is in the service of a totalitarian regime ideologically ‘committed to the neutralization fr destruction of non-communist governments. Soviet objectives tare different from Western objec tives, and the KGB often oper- ates by different means. In dra- ‘matic detail, Barron relates sev- eral KGB operations, some suc cesses and some failures. “Officers of the KGB and its military subsidiary, the GRU (Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Soviet General Staff), ordi- narily occupy a majority of em- bassy posts," as much as 80 per- cent in some Third World coun tries. In Washington, the FBI es- timates that over SO percent of Soviet representatives, including trade officials and Tass corr 3s, work for the KGB. in addition, many agents use the U.N. headquarters and Mexico ity’ for: operations against. the United States, For several pears Secretary General U Thant had a personal assistant, Viktor Les- Slovsky, a KGB agent. Probably half of the 207 Soviet citizens employed by the U. N. Secretari- St, are KGB agents, and at least ‘one was assigned (0 the division responsible for assassination and Sabotage, described in Chapter 13 of the book. ‘In 1971 there were 108 official ‘Americans in Moscow and 189 Soviet citizens with diplomatic immunity in Washington. “In Moscow the total number of ac- credited diplomats from 87 non- communist countries was 809, ‘while the Soviet Union had 1,768 Bccredited diplomats in the same countries."
