In 1987, #KGB FCD Directorate T developed the General Operational Indicator (OOP) to quantify the value of their foreign contacts.

Here's the Structure & the Points given per each category:

1. Level of Operational Relations
Agent  1 
Confidential Contact 0.7
Op. Cultivation 0.5

2. Operational Category of the Source
Agent-recruiter, agent of influence 2
Agent-source of information, potential agent 1

3. Citizenship (Permanent Residence) - USA, NATO, PRC, Japan
a) USA 2
NATO, PRC, Japan 1.5
Other countries 1


b) Work Location
Facilities of Direct Concern for Tech/Scientific Intel 
(including having sub-sources) 3
Other Facilities 1

4. Form of Contact
Impersonal or Use of Agent-Liaison (outside of USSR & Socialist countries) 7

Regular meetings outside USSR (the source has no official contacts in USSR) 5
Meetings on the territory of USSR 3
No current opportunity for meetings 1

5. Reliability of the Source
a) Basis of Cooperation
Ideological-Political 3
Material, Moral-Psychological 2
Not Defined 1

b) Test Procedures (for the period in question)
Complex Testing 2
Selected Testing Measures 1

6. Professional Orientation of the Source

7. Intelligence Capabilities

The #KGB General Operational Indicator was calculated based on the following formula:

OPP= 1 x 2 x (3a+3b) x 4 x (5a+5b) x 6 x 7 (the numbers signify the categories enumerated above)

Max OPP = 8750 points

The Library of the KGB Training School in 1960, Part 1

🧵From a secret letter to Vice Admiral M. A. Usatov, deputy head, First Chief Directorate, #KGB, May 1979.

How Lithuanian KGB planned to spy on NATO:

1. Using its foreign agents to conduct visual surveillance, make contacts with officials and employees of NATO facilities, and

spot individuals open to being developed for recruitment.

4 KGB foreign agents mentioned in this context (3 US citizens: codename ODYSSEUS - Prof at Columbia U; codename PILIS - Prof at U of Virginia; codename SHURIN - Group leader at New York U). ⬇️

2. Using its agents among Soviet citizens to obtain information on foreign citizens who are directly or indirectly connected to NATO facilities with the aim of their potential recruitment.

3. Using foreign citizens who visit the Lithuanian SSR to obtain information on NATO facilities.

4. Accumulating analytic and other materials on the main and peripheral NATO facilities.
