LOOKING FOR A GREAT GIFT IDEA? The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) announced yesterday that it is releasing a six-hour long CD ROM that tells the stirring 75-year history of Soviet and Russian foreign intelligence. The CD ROM will be released in Russian and English versions and sell for about $120. It promises to provide buyers with access to SVR headquarters, and contains interviews with dozens of heretofore mysterious intelligence officers described as having helped shape the existing world order. (Itar-Tass, Interfax, July 16)

Knowing KGB habits as pertaining to releasing information to the public, I would expect 50% of the CDROM to be pure bullshit, 40% -- lies, and maybe 10% truth that was already publicly available. It is like buying a CDROM about the history of the Net from Dr. Grubor. Maybe it would be interesting and amusing, but not worth $120. Would be nice if I was proven wrong though. - Igor.
