Igor Lukes<\/a>, Professor of International Relations and History\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>at Boston University\u2019s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, published a Forum24 <\/em>article outlining the rise of espionage in Russia and the counterbalance from the West that followed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his article, titled “Zpravodajsk\u00e9 slu\u017eby USA a SSSR v \u010dasech studen\u00e9 v\u00e1lky<\/a> (US intelligence services and the USSR during the Cold War),” Lukes describes intelligence services as central to Russia. Until the Cold War, he notes that Western democracies thought of intelligence services as “a fool’s game.” The United States, for example, established the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1947 as a result of fears that Joseph Stalin would try to strike the West. Lukes also shares the story of U.S. Cold Ward intelligence agents.<\/p>\n
