Trust Operation

Paper Summary:

This paper is about a spy operation that the Soviets ran during the mid-1920s. It explains that, to date, it is still one of the most successful counter-intelligence operations ever undertaken by any intelligence agency. It explains how Lenin had most of the world fooled shortly after his Bolshevik revolution. It was the persistence of a few Polish officers that brought the whole operation down.

From the Paper:

"Lenin turned to Feliks Dzerzhinsky (the creator and chief of the Cheka) to eliminate all internal and external threats and factions. Dzerzhinsky devised a plan named Tres. It was an operation that would infiltrate an anti-Bolshevik, and highly secretive organization; the "Monarchist Union of Central Russia" (MOTsR). The "leader" of the MOTsR organization was Alexander Yakushev. He was a Czarist bureaucrat of the Exploitation Department of Waterways Administration (under the Bolsheviks it was known as the Soviet Waterways Department), who subsequent to the Russian Revolution, was attached with the Narkomat of External Trade."
