Their representatives enjoy diplomatic immunity, and this facilitates widespread espionage activities. The history of Soviet agents who served in the UN over several decades of its existence, political actions of the Soviet government in the international arena, exposure of spies working in commissions under the guise of representatives of their country, military and diplomatic secrets that became the subject of espionage, investigation of espionage actions and even crimes in the UN itself - this is the range of problems that the book touches on.
