The repression that swept the country in the late 1930-ies, caused enormous damage to the Soviet foreign intelligence service, has seriously undermined its successful activities in previous years. The arrests were made not only of the heads of foreign intelligence, but many of the leading scouts. In the result, it eliminated almost all illegal residency, lost connection with valuable sources of information, which seriously affected the national security of the country. The book tells about the most prominent intelligence officers who have fallen victims of repression. The Appendix contains brief biographical information on their colleagues, also victims of the 'great terror'.
