Soviet spy radio sets
The USSR, or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, commonly known as
Soviet Union, was a Marxist-Leninist federation of states on the Eurasian
continent that existed between 1922 and 1991. It was controlled by the
Communist Party with Moscow (Russia) as its capital.
|
The end of WWII marked the start of the Cold War; a period of enormous
tension between East and West, but also a period in which many
eavesdropping
and spy radio sets
were developed. As the leading nation of the Warsaw Pact,
Russia – or in fact the Soviet Union (USSR) – developed a wide range of
clandestine radios.
The radios were developed for secret
intelligence services like
the KGB
and the GRU,
and for Special Forces (SF) of the Soviet Army, such as
the Spetsnaz. The KGB and GRU issued the radios to spies and agents
in the West, allowing them to contact the Centre in case of an
emergency. The radio was sometimes hidden in or near the agent's house,
but more commonly in a secret underground cache.
