In 1976, Tony Mendez and his future wife Jonna were CIA operatives in Moscow at one of the most dangerous moments in the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, tapped their phones, and even planted listening devices within the US Embassy. The conditions in Moscow and the paranoid nature of the society itself forced the CIA to refine its tactics to combat the KGB.
This new approach-including not only a new set of techniques but also a host of new technologies and disguise methods, as well as the recruitment of a new type of case officer-would become known as the “Moscow Rules,” and it would revolutionize clandestine operations for years to come.
Join Jonna for the launch of the Mendez’s new book THE MOSCOW RULES Tactics That Helped America Win the Cold War, where she and her late husband Tony tell the story of the intelligence breakthrough that turned the odds in America’s favor. Visit - www.spymuseum.org/

It made me almost tear up, ive seen her talk about him several times now & you can see her struggle to stay composed. I became a widow a few years ago, he passed young but we had been together since I was 14 so we basically grew up together. I know how hard it must've been to go out and talk about the book they wrote together so soon after he passed. She reminds me so much of my grandma, its so hard to imagine her as this incredibly brave spy & master of disguise

Julia I’m so sorry for what has happened to you. I can’t even imagine what you must have went through. Maybe still are going through. It’s my life ambition to be married to my husband for 60 years or more, but he’s 9 years older than me so I said I’d settle for 50 😂. It hurts me to even think of these words to put in this sentence, so I have no idea how I’d cope if I lost him, well I do, I’d be crushed. I don’t know how I’d even go on. I agree with you, it’s so hard to imagine that sweet woman as a hardcore spy, but at the same time, I bet she was so bad ass!

@Sara Shepard -- Yes,of course the first thing you do when you join the intelligence services is keep your friends up to date with all the details??? Are you for real? if the answer's yes then heaven help us,seems stupidity has NO limits, why don't YOU give all your 'friends' your credit card details and pin Nos. and while your at it perhaps all your passwords as well ? I now feel temporarily 'stupid' for wasting time replying to someone who is quite clearly a short-sighted brainless idiot.

i worked for a city government for 25yrs and in the military deployed/many times (context). in the past 25yrs and "post" 2011 amazing how many near "tell" all books from "dagger and cloak" personnel. almost "never" ending. one even about the "dog" that was in on may 2011. a "dog". a non-human animal now gets a (well-paid book deal) of his experience and "knowledge". yes, yes of course: all cleared via their agency of not revealing specific information. i read (many) there books; many (not all) is a like puzzle you can put together if you "read" them. one reason, obviously money. folks buy these books like the "unknown". one writing one; then the "next". 50yrs ago this was not so. but then again no internet, ebooks,and online speaking engagements. i was "deployed" to thailand in about 2010; i was in a rural area near korat (NE thailand). medium city, beautiful and about 200K population. some, now few; but not many "ex-pat". i met a guy at a coffee shop about 62yoa. no doubt a retired fella from "virginia". did he "look at me", no. he lived off his savings, pension and beautiful thai (30yoa) wife; in quietness and tranquility. knowing what he contributed was "substantial" to our nation's defense. he said he taught online (political science) to a university back in the US. nothing more than that: he knew that even 30+ yrs ago; the value/depth of his contribution(s) was valued in his quietness of today. can not "tell" that to the money providers and publishers of: simon and shuster and "others". do this: look for how many "agents" from the ISI, RaW or former KGB (in numbers) write a "book" of their 25+ yrs. of "knowledge". you will find "wisdom" in that search of barnes and noble or amazon. very, very few if any at all. their information is not "for" sale on noble and "barnes".

I was ten when " the Jewish nightmare " started. I was living in Kharkiv and was in 3rd grade. And since I was adopted by this wonderful Jewish family I had no reason to believe that I was anything else. So they started these " political education " classes and the teacher would tell us horror stories about the Israelis and how they torture and kill the Palestinians. And the students would turn and look at us like WE were the enemy. So THAT aspect never really changed. Sorry if you were hoping for something different.

Same. I just saw her video with Wired where she reviewed Spy movies and talked about if each scene was realistic. She talks kind of like my grandma did,. Just very similar and its so hard to imagine this adorable lady as a badass CIA spy. Its also interesting to be reminded how volatile relations with US & Russia has been and continues to be. It makes their interference with the 2016 election feel much more ominous and violating than it initially registered as in my mind.

@@IntlSpyMuseum Thank you for keeping up with the comments! 😃 I know audio is hard, especially when recording a live event. Briefing the speakers on how to use the mic would be a good thing to do so they do not come too close to it or move too far away from it. Any stationary or handheld mic is prone to issues like that unless the speaker knows what they are doing and is experienced enough. I have certainly been burned by not telling people this. And even if you do, the speaker does not necessarily remember it in the moment. And there is only so much you can fix in post. Wireless Clip on / lav mics are (at least in my experience) the least problematic ones. As long as you find a place to clip the mic - ideally, upper chest and with the capsule pointing up, without it rubbing up against clothes/beards/chest hair - and to stick the belt pack you should be golden. The obvious downside is they require some prep work. Might be difficult if the speaker wears a dress or something. But that should generally be doable in a minute or two, and has a huge potential payoff in quality. And the batteries last half a day with no issues (my frame of reference being the Sennheiser EW series). Anyways: keep up the good work! All best from Germany 👍

The 25+ kids and the adult American teacher/chaperones who traveled with us were intensely monitored. As seniors in the coming school year, the daily bottles of Vodka were not passed over. We were detained, we met the coolest kids and I brought one of the first portable CD players and a lot of discs.. Wound up with two amazing kids and a lot of memories

He gave me his business card, which says he was with the State Department. I went TDY to Honduras and met him at a “safehouse” there. That is when I found out he was really with the CIA. Years later I found out he had been supplying the arms to the Contras. He became a Deputy Director of the CIA.

I was also amazed at a lot she said no doubt well they will be aware of what happened in her time in Russia and they would have bought the books too I guess. But then probably a lot of things have changed I guess from when she was there. But fascinating insight and she sure is a wonderful speaker.

Like most of you I looked for the video and found a short video clip of the incident. Yes, a cab pulls up to the entrance, a man in civilian attire gets out of the cab, and as he begins walking to the embassy door another man dressed in what looks like a military or police style uniform comes out of a guard shack and tackles him. They both 'grapple on the ground as the man in civilian attire shrimps toward the electronic door and it opens. The clip ends. I didn't see any "bloody beating" occur in this clip, just two men wrestling. does anyone know of another, maybe longer clip?

@JonnaMendez And so recently I just finished watching the panel on integrity. Then I'm not sure if this is the proper nomenclature but for station and agency. Being as there was FBI thank you ma'am. The state department story was fine. At any rate, I'm just a civilian out here doing independent stuff and research and finding myself in situations that are most exciting and incredible. Well credible. Laughing out loud vicariously. I have a deep interest here. I find it intriguing that there isn't a wider reach so to speak. I'm with freedoms being considered and all that. However sometimes it seems like the bad guys have an upper hand. And that has to be the most difficult part that I can think of. I'm not politicize. Not to sway to any religious ideology. Why the heck can't we just go get the bad guys? Cuz there's some of them in each one of those groups. Sorry about the cuz but I'm not changing it it's talk to text this stupid computer that I have that has a phone in it dang it that's the comedy part. Anyway I love you guys I hope I can come see you someday. Thanks Chris Costa. Amazing work you guys and to the Mendez clan. Holy crap. Badass. I hope that gets by the children's section. Somebody call Chris Wallace. There's another joke part for you I got to go can't stop laughing

The CIA is bored and has gone public and the public is the amazed audience enjoying legendary spies with charming glamorous photos bragging about what should not have been done. Even less cheered for. The question is still as an audience is asking was there an enemy and what was the CIA spying on? An enemy or just a fellow "business" german competitor gone left. And together raised the adversity quotient 😮
