In an interview with Russia's National Defense magazine last week, the director of that nation's foreign intelligence service reminded us of his penchant for creative fiction.
Sergei Naryshkin leads the SVR, Russia's successor to the Soviet Union's KGB First Chief Directorate. This is a history in which Naryshkin, a Putin loyalist of aristocratic heritage, takes great pride. Evincing as much, Naryshkin returned to a familiar refrain: the so-called"Cambridge Five." This was a group of United Kingdom agents the KGB operated between the 1930s-1950s.
This is not a reality that Naryshkin likes to admit. Hence, his more heroic fiction as to how the SVR recruits its agents. This fiction-fetish sometimes has success but often gets absurd. In 2020, for example, Naryshkin invented a supposed CIA plot to assassinate Catholic clergy in Belarus. The plot did not exist.
