Any post-war lie about any past war begins with a lie to intelligence. Say, she did not see it, she did not get it, she did not confirm it here, she was mistaken there, she did not figure it out here, she overlooked it, etc. etc. The history of the Great Patriotic War, first of all its bloody and tragic beginning, is no exception. The founders of the unbearable blasphemy, lies and slander against Soviet intelligence were marshals and generals of the pre-war and wartime. In the activities of intelligence and counterintelligence, the USSR was, of course, not only positive, but also negative. There were mistakes and misses. There were also unfounded suspicions about the agents and intelligence officers, as well as the information they reported. There were, alas, and failures. In short, everything was. Unfortunately, these negative phenomena are constant satellites of active intelligence activities.
