150-Current Counterespionage Cases:
The Russian SVR Illegals Case
Learn the truth behind the recent spy ring of highly-trained, deep cover Russian intelligence operatives who penetrated the US: The ‘Illegals’
The media has treated the recent SVR Illegals case as a "farce," partly because they don't understand what Illegals are all about. It is not like the normal spies like CIA officer Aldrich Ames or FBI SSA Robert Hanssen, who both sold information to the Russians.
The other more subtle reason is because of Active Measures/manipulation on the part of Russian intelligence. It is only to the SVR's advantage for Americans to see this case "funny" and unthreatening because this will then lower our defenses, making it easier for Russian spies to operate.
The SVR doesn't want you to know about their most secret methods.The Russian intelligence services have continually used “Illegals” for the past 80 years because they can freely operate in countries where they are inserted and be undetectable unless they are betrayed.
Understanding the true nature of Illegals is important. They are planned, very long-term operations. Illegals can spot, assess, elicit and sometimes even recruit, all under a 'false flag' with little suspicion aroused. In time of hostilities, they are the 'stay-behind' officers who collect intelligence and conduct sabotage.
In this 1-day course taught by counterintelligence expert David Major, President of The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies (CI CENTRE), you will learn the mission, training, tradecraft, operations, past and present cases, and the other countries that use this same dangerous methodology. Dangerous, that is, to the host country that becomes penetrated by an unseen enemy.
