GRU

only months after being assigned to the Soviet counter-intelligence post he had so badly wanted, Hanssen began spying. Hanssen first contacted the GRU, the Soviet military intelligence organization, who he worked for over the next eighteen months, receiving at least $21,000 in cash for his services (Special Report, 2003). Hanssen ceased contact with the GRU following his transfer to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., though he claims he stopped after his wife discovered his activities (Pluta,…

Introduction Following the end of the Second World War (1939-1945), the United States was propelled into a Cold War with the Soviet Union and other communist countries around the world. At the root of this political hostility was the ideological struggle between western capitalism and Soviet communism. This era, beginning in the late 1940s and ending in the early 1950s, is characterized by a series of communist ‘witch-hunts’ and nationwide alarm caused by the perceived threat posed by communists…

Able Archer was a simulated operation organized and conducted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), which spanned a ten day period, from November 2nd to November 11th 1983. It simulated a time of conflict escalation, leading up to a coordinated nuclear attack, and involved an influx of communication, and the participation of several heads of government. The steady weakening of US-Soviet relations prior to Able Archer, as well as the realistic nature of the exercise, led several…

What happens when a school shooting occurs? People can get injured or worse. Teachers would be better off if they had some protection. It is a policy for teachers to protect their students. If it is a policy to protect students, shouldn’t teachers carry a gun or at least be in access to a gun. No one ever knows when a shooting is about to begin. School teachers carrying guns in class to protect everyone, which is what the whole speech is about. Sandy Hook Elementary School is just one of…

Visualize being trapped in a barren cage all day, trapped from the outside world with no freedom at all, no sense of where you are, and suffering from pain caused by different reasons including drugs, and poisoning. Imagine a child running around outside, laughing with joy, enjoying life the way it should be. Only to be captured and held captive for experimental reasons. Imagine having no voice, no say in what you get to do. Unfortunately animals don 't have to imagine this, millions of animals…

Before Fuchs had been in the US he would have a tenure in Britain under the GRU but his greatest contributions would come from his time in the US. The significance of Fuchs’ passing of US atomic secrets to the Soviets was that it enabled the Soviets to properly make an atomic bomb and further understand nuclear technology. The…

After WWII tensions between the East and West would intensify following US concerns over Soviet plans for expansion and global influence, along with Russia’s attitude towards the West, which had put a strain on any peaceful co-existence that the US may have envisioned. Similar to US concerns, Russian Kremlin Joseph Stalin had also viewed the Western world as a threat to the long term goals of communist Russia. The creation of government agencies such as the CIA, MI6, and the KGB had been formed…

However, the large drop in PalmKid’s contribution margin per unit combined with a decrease in the actual number of PalmPro units sold as well as a drop in the actual contribution margin per unit below budget, led to the total contribution margin being much lower than budgeted. Other factors could be discussed here––for example, it seems that the PalmKid did not achieve much success with a three digit price point––selling price was budgeted at $149 but dropped to $102. At the same time,…
