Today, The Bridge Team has compiled excerpts from a KGB report that reflect the daily lives of Ministry of Internal Affairs employees in the early 1950s. According to the documents, the leadership was clearly dissatisfied with the work of certain departments, as not a single foreign agent had been exposed in several years, and all counterintelligence work was deemed "unsatisfactory". An officer's daily routine consisted of building networks of informants with code names (sometimes quite creative ones). A significant portion of their time was spent conducting external surveillance of the suspects' travels and scrutinizing their correspondence. And yet, despite all these sophisticated methods for catching spies, the results, according to the report, essentially amounted to what the authors themselves succinctly termed "minor measures".
