Throughout theCold War, acts ofespionage, orspying, became prevalent as tension between theUnited States andSoviet Union increased.[1] Information played a crucial role in theCold War and would be essential to a victory of either side. Both theUnited States andSoviet Union understood this fact and invested greatly inespionage missions and technology.

According to U.S. government officials, as of 2016 theUnited States Intelligence Community had earmarked up to 10-percent of its budgets "to Russia-relatedespionage".[2]

Incidents

[edit]
  • In 2000 a former U.S. naval intelligence officer was convicted of espionage by a Russian court and sentenced to 20 years in prison, however, was later pardoned by Russian presidentVladimir Putin. At the time of his arrest, the man had been seeking to purchase technical details about a Russian rocket-propelled torpedo; he later claimed he had only been seeking unclassified information regarding the torpedo for his technical consulting business.[3]
  • In 2013 Ryan Fogle, the third secretary at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, was deported from Russia after Russian counterintelligence officers caught him carrying two wigs, three pairs of sunglasses, a Moscow street atlas, $130,000 in cash, and "a letter offering up to $1-million a year for long-term cooperation".[4][5][6][7][8]
  • In 2017 a cybersecurity specialist working in theFederal Security Service was arrested by Russian authorities on suspicion of passing information to U.S. intelligence.[9]
