...forthcoming book by ex-KGB counterintelligence chief Oleg Kalugin describes alleged Soviet agents who worked against the West in the 1970s. Among the purported spies exposed in the book (to be published by St. Martin's Press) are a high-ranking mole inside the counterintelligence section of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a U.S. military-intelligence officer who is said to have turned over CIA documents and NATO war plans...

...Russians are poor-mouthing the SVR, claiming that it has cut its staff 40% over the past three years -- without giving any actual numbers -- and has closed 30 overseas stations. Even Oleg Kalugin, a former KGB general often critical of Russia's continuing intelligence operations, says Primakov "is in charge of a demoralized organization that is struggling for resources...
