ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on three major anti-American targets of the KGB operations in Soviet Ukraine during the 1950s and the 1960s: the US diplomats, who visited Ukraine; the foreign tourists, who were hired by the American intelligence in Europe for spying for the US in Soviet Ukraine; and American organizations and American tourists. This chapter describes how the KGB counterintelligence strategy failed to identify all American visitors as potential CIA spies, despite the official public trials of the American spies in Kyiv in 1961, and despite the special detailed counterintelligence measures introduced by the KGB administration after 1953.
