I wish I could remember his name, but many decades ago a third-world leader was targeted by the Soviet Union. A female Soviet agent had gotten him into a compromising position, and photographs were taken for the purpose of blackmail.

Shortly thereafter the leader was visited by the Soviet ambassador.

Soviet ambassador: Mr. President, I regret that I must show you these pictures. They are very embarrassing.
President (looks over the pictures): I’ll take three of each.

The President wanted copies as evidence of his virility.
So sometimes sexual blackmail kinda backfires!

I sort of remember the story, but if I recall correctly it wasn't the Russians doing the honey trap.

“A female Soviet agent had gotten him into a compromising position, and photographs were taken for the purpose of blackmail.”

When I was stationed in West Berlin during the 60’s and at the height of the cold war, the playgrounds (night clubs) were infused with drop dead, smokin’ hot, women in the employ of Mother Russia that no mortal man could resist.
