Curator's Corner: Kevin P. Riehle on Russian Intelligence
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2022
- The core responsibility of the Russian intelligence services is to preserve the Russian regime and protect it from internal and external threats. How exactly do they do that? And what can be learned?
Dr. Kevin Riehle, Associate Professor at University of Mississippi Center for Intelligence and Security Studies, mined all the open-source information he could find to discover the answer. With his new book, Russian Intelligence: A Case-based Study of Russian Services and Missions Past and Present, he has created the definitive guide to Russian intelligence and security.
Join SPY historian Dr. Andrew Hammond for a discussion with Riehle about the organization of the Russian services, the missions they undertake, and the human and technical platforms they use. They’ll cover the basics of who or what is targeted and why. And they will also explore the nitty gritty of how. From the use of non-intelligence personnel like Maria Butina to the key themes that Russia repeats in all disinformation campaigns, Riehle has systematically explored and detailed the inner workings of Russian intelligence. Find out why he calls Russian intelligence a formidable adversary, but not one that is “10 feet tall and bullet proof.”
NOTE: Russian Intelligence: A Case-based Study of Russian Services and Missions Past and Present may be downloaded for free from the National Intelligence University.

Very interesting indeed.

I have always strongly suspected that Harriman - a bright, informed, experienced man - knew that there was more to the Great Seal gift from the Soviets than met the eye. No one in his position - he also being surrounded as he was, by top advisors as well as bright, informed staff, coupled with the fact that this device was in his midst, where highly confidential things were discussed within earshot (remember it was there for so many years), could ever be THAT naive and stupid, which is something he manifestly was NOT.
The Great Seal was arguably the first prototype of RFID, which was officially birthed decades later. You make it sound like it was a trivial bug like a microphone, when it was utterly brilliant and impressively creative. Moreover, was Harriman a physicist?
working on it
AGENT SNIFF IS BACK
Thats neat
Angleton thought Harriman was a Soviet asset. I can see how he would be suspicious. Was it carelessness or intentional?
Was Harriman a physicist? There should have been SIGINT officers vetting it.

April2024 -listening to this after the report about ‘Havana Syndrome’ events linked to GRU 29155 was on 60 minutes. That technology and its method of delivery appears to be unknown to western nations. Really hoping it’s figured out soon (or publicly disclosed, if the cia et al, already have info about it)
I've been accused of being a Russian spy for years and I'm a 2nd generation Russian American, Go😂 America I mean my own Governments been brutal towards me. 😅😅😅😂😢
Hi, I don't care for the interview process, and prefer presentations such as we see with Jonna Mendez which is so much easier to get a feel from her experience instead of the controlled preview from Dr. Whatsit doing his interviews. So can you please let us know of all the presentations like Jonna where Dr. Whatsit is absent, so we can hear more from those who did the work, and much less from Dr. Whatsit and his verbal diarrhea! It is far more interesting to get a better feel from the agents without his input. I would like to learn about people like Kevin P. Riehle, but not in the interview format! If I have to listen to him, I'll skip the Spy Museum going forward and the Smithsonian! He probably has a valuable role to play. The occasional interview may be OK. However, too much of his input destroys the message and is not beneficial or interesting. I'd rather hear the guest who knows what he/she is talking about. Dr. Whatsit talks too much! Jonna's message would have been a yawn if he was doing the interviewing. Disaster! She is wonderful... let the others present as she does.
Thank you for tuning in and for your feedback, Patricia. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with our Programs team.
Jonna Mendez was a technical ops officer (not "agent", that term gets misused all the time) though, her experience with Russian intelligence is going to be limited, not a holistic understanding beyond 101-level stuff. Kevin is a true scholar and isn't interested in doing TED talks to entertain laymen, he wants to inform, which is fine. If you want to hear a blowhard cop or ops officer pontificating, UA-cam is already replete with videos of that.
I second your comment! give me an hour presentation instead of a fraction of the information in an interview.
@@dustylefou Patricia isn't asking for Jonna Mendez to give the talk; she's just asking for the material to be presented as a talk rather than an interview.
I think I just had a spygasm
Geez. I fell asleep 15 minutes into the interview.
Go watch football?
Don’t mean to be disrespectful as I’ve traveled globally & truly enjoy different cultures. However after several years, the Host ‘s Scottish accent is still SO HEAVY NOW I HAVE TO AVOID ANY PROGRAM HE‘s hosting. Perhaps he could contribute in major component BEHIND THE SCENES. A NICE MAN.
KGB doesn't exist anymore
Even though you guys are really bad ass I still prefer the FBI for local matters. Those guys are pretty good.
we know many spies
