Russia has long monopolised the international spy trade. This is unsurprising, as 95% of the country's population gets into the business, and almost all of the Russian budget is used for spy creation and training.
However, the true extent of the chasm between the superior abilities of Russian spies and their non-Russian excuses for counterparts was revealed during the MAKS 2009 airshow in Moscow this August.
The airshow culminated in an espionage scandal, as the Russian Federal Security Service (widely known under the pen-name KGB) found two Dutch spies sauntering into a confidential military hangar. This lazy attempt at espionage is the latest in a long line of amateurish spyings from the West and even China. In 2008 alone, the FSB/KGB arrested 149 so-called "spies".
A hangar, possibly Russian, definitely confidential
The Weblog of watching and supervision for global Russian spy activities welcomes any attempts at spying that the countries of the world wish to make. However, they really must be of a certain quality.
