The Cold War can be said to be the most colorful and thrilling history in modern human history.
The two camps of the East and the West, represented by the Soviet Union and the United States, staged a series of bloody battles in order to compete for dominance in the world.
Despite the name "Cold War", it is true that the two camps did not clash with overheated weapons.
However, below sea level, the confrontation in the shadows was no less intense than the sword soldiers facing each other directly on the battlefield.
And in these dark encounters, there is no more such story that is still talked about and very fascinating than intelligence warfare.
Whether it is the FBI and CIA in the United States, or the KGB in the Soviet Union, the degree of professionalism they have shown and the intricate network of power structures they have shown are incredible.
In particular, the KGB of the USSR, in the fight against intelligence, simply showed an unexpected level.
And the most representative part of this period is the KGB's arrangement and use of female spies.
How was the KGB born?
The word "KGB" actually belongs to Chinese, which is a direct transliteration of Russian.
Its official full name is called "Soviet State Security Council", and its predecessor was the very famous "Cheka" in the early Soviet period and later the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The early "Cheka" was established by the Soviet Union in order to purge the reactionary elements in its own country and to resist the infiltration of some foreign spies.
Of course, the Cheka at that time had relatively simple means, nothing more than harsh interrogations and a huge personnel organization.
But as the Soviet Union began to gradually build itself into a relatively powerful socialist state, the Cheka's task changed.
Especially in the course of the Cold War with the United States, the Soviet leaders were eager to recognize.
A relatively well-knit and systematic foreign intelligence agency is needed to better control one's own country and other countries.
In particular, the movements of the countries that belong to the system of their own socialist camp. So in 1954, the Cheka was reorganized into the KGB as we know it today.
In fact, from the story of the birth of the KGB, you can feel that this organization has belonged to an elitist organization from the beginning.
The mission and tasks it has to undertake are far heavier than many of us imagine.
If you want to infiltrate other countries and obtain intelligence from other countries, you must at least have a very good language level for the intelligence personnel working in the KGB.
Doing espionage work at the same time requires a lot of fighting skills to protect oneself, as well as an excellent method of intelligence information transmission.
At the same time, in order to penetrate the upper echelons or inner ranks of the enemy, the KGB also needed to have a basic understanding of the life of the upper class.
In this way, it can quickly gain the trust of the high-level of the target country and steal more confidential information and content.
Therefore, the KGB's training is also very strict, and they generally select some young people in their teens to 20 or so to enter the KGB's special spy school for round-the-clock closed training. The training content is also very strict, as long as there is a slight failure, you will be kicked out of the training list, which is equivalent to direct expulsion.
And those who can go through heavy studies and subsequent selections, and finally get excellent results, are the elites in the true sense.
In the KGB's spy team, there are not only ordinary spies that we are familiar with, the KGB also has a special team of female spies.
This team of female spies will be responsible for some more secret, even higher-level tasks within the KGB, and this group of female spies has a unified code name called "Swallow".
2. The secret mission of the "Swallow".
As the saying goes: "Lust is also the existence of people's great desires." The deep meaning of this sentence is that lust is actually the instinct of human nature, and it is difficult to avoid it whether it is a man or a woman.
It's just that men are in a relatively strong position in society to a certain extent, and they have access to more sexual resources than women.
Because of this, the effect and effect of erotic temptation for men is often greater.
The KGB's "Swallow" team was also established on this basis, and in fact, the training of the "Swallow" team itself was also very strict.
Often, the KGB would select beautiful girls who were teenagers and minors from all over the Soviet Union, and send them to the KGB spy school to learn various espionage techniques and charm techniques.
It is conceivable that these girls were exposed to some adult content at a very young age, and even in some training, they would directly show them adult films to learn some "skills".
At first, most of them will also feel very ashamed, after all, looking at these things is not a thing that can see the light.
But as their training deepened, they began to be gradually brainwashed, and they thought that there was nothing bad about understanding these things, and that they were still great in the interests of the Soviet Union anyway. And that's what the KGB wants to instill in their brains, that is, to get them used to it, and to think that these things are all right.
After a few years of studying in spy schools, these female spies have understood how to deal with the men in the top echelons.
And they also have a considerable degree of espionage skills and self-preservation fighting ability.
And often at this time, the KGB will arrange for them to work in intelligence in countries based on their performance in school.
The best of them, of course, will be sent to the United States, and the slightly worse, but also good, will probably go to Europe.
The last remaining part may be sent to the Middle East or Latin America, and in short, these female spies are all over the world.
They would regularly transmit some information about their location to the Soviet Union to help the Soviet Union better understand the development of the world and international situation.
And among these female spies, there are also some famous figures, not only because they have established outstanding feats, but also because they have had emotional entanglements with some well-known figures.
Of all the KGB "swallows", the most famous and talked about is Margarita.
Why is Margarita the most famous? The reason is that the person she was assigned by the KGB to get close to was the famous physicist Albert Einstein.
It is said that it was with the help of Margarita that the Soviet Union obtained information about nuclear weapons from Einstein.
In the end, the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons soon after the United States, and the balance of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was reached.
3. Romance with Albert Einstein
Margarita first came to the United States as the ambassador's wife, and of course the one who started a family with her was also a KGB spy.
In the social circles of the top of the United States, Margarita has been widely praised for her outstanding talent and outstanding looks and figures.
And this charm naturally attracted Einstein, who had just lost his wife at that time.
At this time, Einstein was in the window period of his life, and he was very lonely and lonely, which was exactly the state that Margarita and the KGB hoped for.
As a result, Margarita began to gradually approach Einstein on various occasions, and after getting acquainted with Einstein, she actively expressed her love to him.
At this time, Einstein was nearly sixty years old, and his whole person was in a state of pessimism and sadness.
And at this time, when a young woman expresses her love, it is natural that he will easily feel rejuvenated.
So the two quickly came together and became secret lovers.
Strange to say, Einstein's temper was actually very bad, and the number of friends around him was not very large.
But Margarita was very good at taking care of his emotions and made Einstein feel needed many times.
This is the feeling that Einstein did not get in his wife, the so-called "gentle country is a hero's mound", and in getting along with Margarita, Einstein began to trust her more and more.
Finally, while Einstein was in charge of nuclear weapons, he also revealed his nuclear weapons program to Margarita.
It stands to reason that Margarita at this time should have completed the task and can leave, but what he didn't expect was that in this mission, Margarita also moved her feelings.
She thought about it and revealed to Einstein that she was a Soviet spy.
Who knew that Einstein smiled when he found out, and there was no violent reaction, it turned out that he had already guessed that Margarita came to him, probably for nuclear weapons.
But Einstein did love Margarita very much, and on the other hand, he did it out of concern for the good of humanity.
He also believes that such a powerful weapon as nuclear weapons should not be in the hands of the United States alone, and this will also be a disaster for mankind.
So in the end, Einstein decided to give Margarita the way to research nuclear weapons and let her take them back to the Soviet Union.
On the one hand, it is love, and on the other hand, he considers this matter from the perspective of human beings.
I have to admit that Einstein was a great scientist, not a simple scientific researcher.
epilogue
In fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many "swallows" of the KGB also withdrew from the intelligence organization, got married, had children, and lived an ordinary life.
But this experience became a very memorable event in their lives, and many of their experiences have been passed down in later generations and are still discussed today.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg of espionage work in the Cold War, behind the "swallow" there are deeper and darker espionage battles.
In this espionage war after another, the United States and the Soviet Union tried their own tricks to achieve the final victory in the Cold War.
