As Sergei often mentions, the job of an SVR intelligence officer is not to spy, but to acquire and handle spies. Sergei stated that both as a KGB officer and a SVR officer he had three main targets: the United States, NATO, and China. Getting people to give information, including intelligence, about the United States seemed relatively easy if the SVR operative could first establish that the potential informant simply disliked the United States. That fact seemed to provide the major motivation for the long list of code-named sources in both the Canadian and the U.S. sections. In the Canadian section, the reader encounters ARTHUR, SEMIAN, LEZAR, ILYA, KIRILL and ALADDEN. KIRILL returns in the U.S. section and has his code name changed to KABAN. Additionally, in the US section, Sergei discusses the information the SVR received from KOSACK, a Turkish counselor, MONK, an Iranian diplomat, SILVESTER, a Swedish diplomat, COUNSEL, a German diplomat, PROFESSOR, a Polish diplomat, PHOENIX, a Finnish diplomat, and SAM, an American diplomat. As it turns out, the SVR soon realized that SAM was probably an FBI agent since he did not provide any useful information, so the Russians decided to credit him with information in order to be able to claim they had successfully recruited an American. In the U.S. section, Sergei discusses the disinformation program the SVR ran in order to create the fear of a “nuclear winter” and the role various NGOs played to help propagate this disinformation. Sergei also described how the SVR skimmed about half a billion dollars off the UN's Oil for Food program.

It all happened in and around Turtle Bay.
