Without the police, the regime would be torn to pieces in the span of one day and Russia would be free. During my stay in Russia, I learned to know the workings of the police organizations only too well. They began their spying on me the day I arrived in Moscow and continued it until I crossed the Soviet borders four years later At first this;spying was only intermittent, but asrelations between the U. 3. and the Soviet Union deteriorated the police vigil. ance became more rigid.
