Foreign Intelligence Awards. Symbols of professionalism

   In any country, departmental awards – the pinnacle of professional excellence – are considered to be as honorable as state awards. The foreign intelligence service of our country has, for the ordinary human, always been a secret behind seven seals. It is not surprising that so little is also known about the awards of this service. And yet the humble sign of professional excellence on a civilian suit of a veteran can tell a lot about the achievements of this person in ensuring the security of the Homeland. This book acquaints the readers with the departmental awards of foreign intelligence from the moment of its creation to the present day.
