KGB IS WATCHING YOU
Last time I had written that we had to share a room with a Russian who did not know English. Invariably he was a member of the communist party. His main job was to keep a watch on who comes to meet us and how often we meet. In addition we used to visit Indian Embassy twice a week to collect our mail. His job was to inform KGB how often we visit the embassy and what type of mail we got. He always questioned about our attitude to Soviet way of life. Our standard answer was we like USSR. After we suffered his company for one or two years he was shifted to other new comers room.
Another ploy employed by KGB was to call us on telephone and accuse us of having an affair with a Russian girl and they have enough evidence to prove it. If we accept it then they will blackmail us that they report the Indian Embassy and ensure that we will be sent back. If we agree to cooperate with them when we go back to India, they will hush the whole thing up and we can continue as usual. When we faced such a situation our seniors had already warned us that we should abuse the caller and tell the caller that we are being harassed we are bringing this to the notice of our Embassy. Then such calls will stop. They did not want our Embassy to know that we are being watched.
Other than such minor incidents life in USSR was very interesting. We were free to roam freely in Moscow.
