West, While appearing to be anti-communist, by going to church,
getting involved in charities, and voting conservatively; they were

and stage demonstrations.Inside the Soviet Union, candidates were chosen to attend the Marx-
Engels School near Moscow, for what they were told would be training
for a career within the Party. The recruits would then be sent to the
Lenin Technical School at Verkhovnoye, which is a complex spread
out of over seven square miles in a desolate area. During the time they
were here, their family, and friends, did not know their whereabouts.
The training lasted 12 months, and consisted of military-like training,
such as survival techniques, various methods of hand-to-hand
combat, handling firearms and heavy combat equipment, how to make
and deactivate explosives, methods of electronic surveillance, and the
use of poisons. If the recruit passed, they would be sent on a vacation,
during which they would be arrested by the Secret Police as a foreign

and interrogation, to see if they would break under the pressure. If they
passed, they would be sent to one of the Soviet Ace Spy Schools,
where the training could last for up to ten years.The Prakhovka Ace Spy School was located near Minsk, within a 220

northern sector was for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland; the
southwestern sector was for the Netherlands; the southern area was
for Austria and Switzerland; and the southeastern area was for
Germany. At the Stiepnaya Ace Spy School, near Chkalov, along the
northern border of the Kazakh Soviet Republic, the northwestern
section was for France; the northern area for the Spanish countries;
the northeastern section for Italy; and the southern end for Portugal,
Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. The Vostocznaya Ace Spy School near
