the First half of the 1920-ies — the time of the extraordinary success of the young Soviet secret service, called the OGPU. The struggle against opponents of the Bolshevik government were not only operational game (the famous operation “Syndicate-2” and “the Trust”) and active counter-propaganda, realizing that security officers shamelessly represented the aggressor suffering from aggression, the provocateur is the victim of provocation, and leading subversive organization — a peaceful trade mission. One of the clearest examples of this is the film of 1926 “Career Spirite of Spandura” Leonid Utyosov in the title role.
