For almost twenty years, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), of the United States, have been manipulated by counter-espies in the service of the State Security Committee (KGB), the security agency and espionage of the Soviet Union.
The intricate tale of Soviet manipulation by the US security and espionage services began in 1962, when Yuri Ivanovich Nosenko offered himself to the CIA to carry out espionage work.
Nosenko agreed to defect to the United States in 1964, after having secured for two years that he would remain in the Soviet Union. But in 1964 Nosenko told his American contacts in Geneva (Switzerland) that he was willing to defect to the United States, after he received a cable from Moscow ordering him to return to his country and, apparently, fearing that his relations with the CIA would have been discovered by the KGB.
in 1971 the team of "plumbers" was created in the White House, then under the administration of Richard Nixon, who was later the clandestine group responsible for the Watergate scandal, which culminated in the resignation of the president in 1974.
