Recruitments were more difficult in later years until the Soviet services realized the power of money in motivating Western officials. Aldrich Ames is an outstanding example of this. Even worse was the insistence of the Soviet leadership that these sources be arrested immediately, thus alerting CIA to the leak. During work on Battleground Berlin and later in launching the Russian edition, I found the Public Affairs Bureau of SVR, first under Gen. Yuri Kobaladze and then Col. Boris Labusov, to be extremely courteous and helpful. As a retired officer, I have no way of judging the work of the present Russian services.
Some people thinks that books about intelligence are actions of special services.
For example, in Russia all are sure that book of Mitrohin is action of britain intelligence. I have no information on the operational background of the case of Vasiliy Mitrokhin. Nevertheless, I know from own experience, that unless a book can be expected to return a profit, there is no way it would be taken on by a respectable publishing house even though a Western service might like to see this happen. I can't answer your questions about anti-CIA movies from the 70s because I honestly don't remember them. You should know that at that time, right after the Vietnam War and resignation of President Nixon, it was fashionable to attack the government.
