O.Kalugin was a KGB general, head of foreign counterintelligence unit of KGB. Became the youngest KGB general (only 40 years old). As the Soviet Union underwent changes under Mikhail Gorbachev, Kalugin became more vocal and public in his criticism of the KGB, denouncing Soviet security forces as "Stalinist" domestic political police, although he never disputed the importance of espionage abroad. Finally, in 1990, Gorbachev signed a decree stripping Kalugin of his rank, decorations, and pension. In August 1991, Gorbachev returned his rank, decorations and pension. Despite opposition from the KGB, he was elected in September 1990[3] to the Supreme Soviet as a People's Deputy for the Krasnodar region. -
