INTRODUCTION
For mcr a than thirty=rive years the Soviet Union has served
and
as the principal base source of authoritative guidance and support
for the subversive activities of International Communism. The elements
of the Communist conspttacy throughout the world have in turn provided the
Soviet Government with invaluable assistance in 3 espionage and

Satellite diplomatic posts abroad are used by the satellite
intelligence services in a similar fashion. The operations of these
services may supplement or substitute for Soviet intelligence operations,
whenever required by Soviet interests. The intelligence product of the
satellite services is always avaailable to the Soviets because of the

Communist parties are controlled by
the Foreign Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union. Exploitation of the foreign Communist parties by the Soviet
intelligence services or by instruments of the Agitation-Propaganda Section
of the Central Committee. is coordinated with the Foreign Section. Within
the national Communist parties4and Communist front groups, liaison agents
act both as Communist patty or front group functionaries and as collabor-
ators with a Soviet intelligence service. These liaison agents are managed,
in most cases, 1W through direct contact frith Soviet intelligence officials
eernith ostensibly as diplomats, Trade Mission office TkSS correspondents
or VOKS representatives.

Soviet official installations abroad also serve as distribution
points for propaganda contained in films, books,
magazines, newspapers, Me In tee presentation of ideas the
Soviets are attaining a degree of subtlety seldom achieved in the
past. Thissrepressents a greater degree of danger in areas where
political naivetb, opportunism or unfortunate economic eonditi#ns
may lead to ready acceptance of attradtive Soviet-promoted
propaganda. Subversion through various forms of subsidization of
local press services, political and other influential growpsp often
rf.C,~
through outright bribery, is also cQQududted from Soviet official
installations.
Soviet official missions abroad offer many advantages and forms of
support for espionage. The major advantage is that professional intelligence
personnel can be concealed among those:required;;forethi transaction of normal
diplomatic, commercial and cultural activities. Intelligence requirements
have sometimes led to the expansion of some Soviet installations out of all mmm
proportion to the volume of conventional business transacted, as was ,e.-:=n
in Indonesia in the fall of 1955. In some instances the personnel involved in
clandestine activity actually outnumber+ those carrying out normal representa-
tional functions. Sovi tintell.igence defectors have estimated, for example
Asecond obvious dvantag is of extraterritoriality. Diplomatic
immunity has prevented the arrest of hundreds of Soviet intelligence operatives
who have claimed immunity when caught in compromising situations..z
-Instead of receiving long prisons sentences, they have merely been deported
to the Soviet Union. Diplomatic immunity has permitted the Soviet services

to% within their Anbassies. offices ix where sensitive records of
espionage activity amk:be maintained and where discussions, planning and

cryptographic work for intelligence operations.aM/It be carried on securely.
A third major ddvantage offered by the official installations abroad
the provision of support '%---:"..- ? legal, quasi-legal-or covert
? am-er to local g agents, Communist parties or 4 other auxiliaries. Such
aid may even extend to agents and organization in another Free World country.
International boundaries are considered by Soviet intelligence services to
function not only as obstacles but also as protective screens for clandestine s
activity. Thus the subversive activities carried on from a particular Soviet
installation may be directed at a third country,

and tasks of subversive nature which are carried out through Soviet installations
abroad, the character of the installations used, and the methods
by which the advantages offered by these installations are exploited.
