Edit|In 1960, U.S. diplomats at the United Nations General Assembly learned about the Soviet KGB's use to steal classified U.S. diplomatic intelligence. At that time, there were also people who directly pointed the finger at the former leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph. Stalin.
According to the investigation of the US ** Intelligence Agency, the plan, codenamed Golden Lips, was personally initiated by Stalin, the former supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Its purpose is to obtain all kinds of important information about the United States in a silent state.
During the Cold War, the confrontation between American and Soviet spies has always been a topic of conversation. In order to be able to steal each other's intelligence, the United States and the Soviet Union used methods far beyond the imagination of normal people.
In the case of the Golden Lips Project, the Soviets relied only on an elaborate American coat of arms to complete the surveillance of the other side. Even in the years that followed, successive U.S. ambassadors did not see the problem.
So, in what context did the USSR develop the Golden Lip Plan? Under what circumstances was this U.S. emblem sent to the U.S. Embassy for surveillance purposes?

Next, let's take it slowly.
The two camps are secretly fighting each other
It is no secret that the ideologies of the USSR and the USA were completely opposed. So, although the Soviet Union was proclaimed in 1922, the two countries did not establish formal diplomatic relations until 1933.
When the Soviet Union formally established diplomatic relations with the United States, Soviet intelligence began to work in the building of the American embassy.
According to international diplomatic practice, the construction of diplomatic embassies should be undertaken by the host country. Therefore, when the Soviet Union completed the construction of the US embassy and successfully handed it over to the United States, the Americans immediately carried out a comprehensive inspection of the embassy.
As expected, the Americans found a large number of identification devices in the buildings delivered by the Soviet Union. However, in order not to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the United States did not challenge the Soviet Union on this matter. In this way, the two sides maintained a tacit understanding.
Soviet society in the twenties and thirties).
During World War II, both the United States and the Soviet Union were members of the anti-fascist alliance. So, at that time, intelligence operations between the Soviet Union and the United States against each other were somewhat politically incorrect, and the frequency of related activities began to decrease.
By the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union had reverted to hostility. The Soviet Union began to refocus on gathering information on the U.S. foreign and intelligence agencies.
It was at this time that the Soviets made a great breakthrough in the development of *** technology. This made it easy for the Soviets to install *** on any device. It is in this context that the Golden Lips Project was born.
The so-called precise plan was the successful installation of a *** inside the US Embassy in the USSR, which sounds very easy, but it is very difficult to implement.
During World War II, American and Soviet soldiers successfully met).
Because according to international practice, the U.S. Embassy is part of the territory of the United States. Soviet staff were not allowed to enter the U.S. Embassy or Consulates without special permission.
In order to successfully fit *** into the embassy of the United States, the Soviets can be described as painstaking. They used to hang a lot of sheets and quilts around the U.S. Embassy, trying to send the miniature *** into the U.S. Embassy unknowingly by blowing the wind.
In addition, the Soviet Union would often hold some literary and artistic activities with the U.S. Embassy. At this time, the Soviet Union will take the opportunity to send some young and beautiful female spies to infiltrate the US Embassy to find out the news, and install *** by the way
But Americans have seen a lot of such means. Although the Soviets have found a lot of confidential information about the United States, they have never been able to install *** in place.

Full of childlike innocence**
On February 9, 1945, the Soviet Union held the "Altek All-Soviet Young Pioneers Fitness Camp" on the shores of the Black Sea. Before the start of the event, the USSR also sent a special invitation to diplomats from Great Britain and the United States.
At that time, relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were still very harmonious on the surface. So in order to demonstrate the friendship between the Soviet Union and the United States, the diplomatic ambassadors of Britain and the United States gladly went. No one could have imagined that the Soviets would use this opportunity to envision a beautiful trap for them.
At the opening ceremony, the Young Pioneers of the Soviet Union sang a pre-rehearsed American ballad in English. This touched the American ambassador who was present, and he immediately got up excitedly and stood among the children to join the event.
After the event, four Young Pioneers carried a wooden emblem of the United States to U.S. Ambassador Kaliman. They told Kaliman that it was a gift that had been carefully crafted by their classmates at their school and that they hoped Mr. Ambassador would accept it.
Young Pioneers in Soviet times).
Faced with this group of innocent children, Kaliman even shed tears of excitement: "Oh my God, thank you! The children. Where do you think I should put such a beautiful national emblem? ”
After returning to the U.S. Embassy, Carriman decided to keep the totemic object of the United States of America in his office. In this way, you can show that you take the matter seriously.
Moreover, this coat of arms of the United States is made entirely of wood, and the workmanship is indeed very fine, making it a treasure worth collecting. Kaliman did not believe that the naïve Soviet child would put a trap on him.
What's more, Kaliman's aides also endorsed his idea. Moreover, Kaliman's aides believed that the Soviets gave such gifts only to the American ambassador, and not to the British one. This just proves that they attach more importance to diplomatic relations with the United States.
After listening to the assistant's words, Kaliman also felt very reasonable. So Carriman immediately called the staff to hang the wooden American coat of arms in his office.
Since then, Kaliman and his colleagues have often sat in front of the American coat of arms and talked about diplomatic secrets, but the Soviets did not know that the Soviets had already installed sophisticated eavesdropping equipment in this wooden American coat of arms.
The reason why the Soviets wanted to set this American coat of arms as a wooden product is because the material of the wood is not only beautiful, but also does not affect the work efficiency and sound effect.
The Supreme Leader of the USSR Stalin)
In this way, four U.S. ambassadors, including Kaliman, exposed themselves and their colleagues to Soviet eavesdropping for eight years.
What is even more incredible is that every time a new US ambassador to the Soviet Union arrives, the entire embassy undergoes a massive renovation. But the three U.S. ambassadors after Carriman were also attracted by the elaborate U.S. coat of arms and chose to keep it.
If it weren't for a chance accident later, the Americans would never have found out that their embassy was tapped by the Soviets. But there are no impermeable walls in this world.

A shocking plan that was accidentally leaked
One day in 1952, an intelligence officer of the British Intelligence Division VI was surprised to find that there was an intelligence platform from the Soviet Union that was talking in English.
After careful investigation and comparison, British intelligence officers were 100% sure that the voice came from the staff of the US Embassy in the Soviet Union. They even heard the voice of the then US ambassador to the USSR in it.
As the number one vassal of the United States, Britain did not dare to slack off after learning the news. They immediately chose to report the news to the American side. However, after learning the news, the United States did not rush to make it public.
On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the ** intelligence bureau of the United States feels that this matter is too embarrassing. On the other hand, the Americans have not yet mastered such advanced manufacturing technology, and they want to bring the wooden national emblem made by the Soviets back to China to study it well.

Facts have proved that the Americans have indeed gained something by bringing this wooden national emblem back home. Soon after, the intelligence agencies of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada also mastered the relevant manufacturing technology.
It is precisely because of this technological revolution promoted by the Soviets that wiretapping incidents between embassies of various countries emerged one after another throughout the Cold War. This also presents many classic ** movie scenes for later generations.
When the Soviet Union openly accused the United States of sending a U-2 reconnaissance plane to invade the Soviet Union's airspace at the United Nations General Assembly in May 1960, the angry US representative announced to the world the Soviet Union's sophisticated plan to eavesdrop on the US Embassy.
Sure enough, when the news was announced, the diplomats present were very surprised. Because in the past, it was known that the United States was very fond of eavesdropping on other countries. But before that, very few accusations of espionage against the Soviet Union were seen.

The US ambassador said in front of everyone present: For five years, the Soviet Union has been working to train and send spies to the world. Their aim was to establish "pro-communist regimes" in every country of the world.
In order to achieve this, the Soviets did not hesitate to eavesdrop and spy on diplomats in every Western camp. The diplomatic rhetoric of the Soviets in the past was a complete sanctimonious "trick"!
Soon, the conference site became a live broadcast of the "dog eat dog" of the United States and the Soviet Union. The ambassadors of the United States and the Soviet Union watched in silence as they accused each other of espionage.
But everyone present knew very well that the United States and the Soviet Union were nothing more than two hegemonic leaders with different historical and cultural backgrounds. Their real purpose is not the so-called liberation of all mankind, but the desire to make themselves the masters of this world.

When the red flag in Moscow was lowered in 1991, the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union finally came to an end. But years later, people will still talk about the performance of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Various espionage anecdotes and stories during the Cold War will also become frequent visitors on the big screen. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union both believed that they had an obligation to lead all mankind to the light, but the competition between them also put the world on the powder keg of nuclear war.
Light and darkness, peace and destruction were often at the whim of the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union. This is the contradiction and complexity that pervades the historical period of the Cold War.
The "Cold War" was, of course, a legendary period in history. But it has also made countries around the world realize the truth that the world never needs a so-called hegemon to maintain order. Every country has the right to determine its own destiny and development path!
