Abstract
The recruitment strategies employed by the KGB’s First Chief Directorate (FCD) displayed an apparent dichotomy, utilizing a two-pronged approach. On one hand, individuals who intended to operate under diplomatic cover were predominantly Slavs with a strong ideological background. On the other hand, individuals from discriminated ethnic minorities, among the Slavs, were often employed as undercover intelligence operatives known as illegals. This article aims to delve deeper into this disparity and, drawing upon the insights gained from the preceding analysis, construct a comprehensive case study focusing on the life and work of Evgeny Kim as an exemplary embodiment of an illegal originating from an ethnic minority.
