Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence

Poland-WW2/katyn). A good website on Russian strategy and tactics in the

Great Patriotic War is Russian Battlefield (www.battlefield.ru), which con-

tains scores of documents in Russian and a few in English on Soviet intelli-

gence in 1940–1945.

The best academic websites on intelligence during the Cold War are the Cold

War International History Project (www.cwihp.si) and the Harvard Project on

Cold War Studies (www.fas.Harvard.edu/~hpsws). Both contain a number of

documents from the Russian archives and some outstanding analysis of the role

of the Soviet services in both foreign intelligence and Soviet power politics.

The Worldwide Socialist Web (www.wsww.org) has an outstanding oral history

program, and it often has a number of editorials and interviews with the re-

maining survivors of the Comintern and Trotsky’s Fourth International.

Western intelligence and security services now all have websites, which con-

tain details about operations against the Soviet intelligence services and analy-

sis of the Soviet threat during the Cold War. The National Counterintelligence

Center (www.nacic.org) has a four-volume history of American counterintelli-

gence on its site, including detailed histories of many famous counterintelli-

gence cases. On the CIA site (www.cia.gov), the Center for the Study of Intel-

ligence publishes studies by in-house historians and former intelligence

officers, as well as by former Russian bureaucrats and intelligence officers.

Among the best of the CIA in-house historians is Ben Fischer, who has pro-

duced a study of the Okhranaand an account of the Katyn massacre. The Na-

tional Security Agency (www.nsa.gov) has published all the Venona messages,

as well as essays by the men and women who worked on this signals intelli-

gence problem.
