The Truth
About
Illegals

By Ion Mihai Pacepa

The recent arrest of ten Russian illegal officers targeted against us — a
superb performance on the part of our intelligence and law enforcement
agencies — proves that the Kremlin still looks upon the United States as
the main enemy. Most of the details about these new cases are still
classified by the FBI. One thing is clear, however; this is not just
business as usual — “we spy, they spy.” The Kremlin’s illegal officers have
traditionally been dispatched to enemy countries to form an alternative
presence there, should war break out and force the legal embassies to close;
and to constitute a “homegrown” skeleton of the pro-Moscow governments that
the Kremlin dreamed of setting up in those countries at the end of the war.
In other words, vitally important assignments.

Today, most of the American media seem to find the notion of illegal
officers a joke, calling them spy-novel fantasies, hilariously funny
characters or do-nothing sleepers. No wonder. There are no books on the
subject. The true nature of illegal operations, unique to the Russian
intelligence community, has been an extremely tightly held secret. In 1964 I
became a deputy chief of the Romanian foreign intelligence service, the DIE,
but it was only eight years later that I realized now little I had actually
known — that was when my former KGB adviser, General Aleksandr Sakharovsky,
by then the Soviet Union’s spy chief, gave me supervisory authority over
Romania’s illegal operations.
