Shows the evolution of Soviet threat perceptions and the development of the'main enemy'concept in the Soviet national security system. Shows fluctuations in the Soviet recruitment and vetting of personnel for sensitive national security positions, corresponding with fluctuations in the stability of the Soviet government.
