    RT @spycraft101 (Spycraft101): CIA operations officer Gene Coyle’s wife Jan snapped a photo after the couple completed one of the highest-risk operations of the entire Cold War, right in the heart of Moscow in 1985. Gene joined the Central intelligence Agency after graduating from Indiana University. Several years later, he and his wife Jan were selected for a two-year tour in Moscow. They attended specialized training including nearly a year of Russian language studies. One of his most important assignments there was as part of Operation GTTAW, which had placed a state-of-the-art recording device around buried communications cables between the Soviet Ministry of Defense and the Krasnaya Pakhra Research Complex. The joint CIA-NSA operation had cost $40,000,000 to develop the revolutionary cable tapping and recording device, and the tapes themselves had to be manually retrieved and replaced every few months. The device had been emplaced by an earlier operations officer underneath a manhole cover in a wooded area beside the Kaluzhskoye Motorway. Gene spent six months building his profile as an unimportant embassy functionary, traveling to bookstores around the country to purchase books to send back to the US. Eventually he grew confident that the KGB had ceased regular surveillance of his movements. One Saturday morning after completing his regular routine at the gym and car wash, he and Jan drove close to the site before hiking through the woods to locate the manhole cover. They spent hours there, digging out the device with a small shovel, replacing the tape reels, and hiding it again. On the way back to the embassy, confident they had not been detected, they played Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen on the cassette player. The reels went back to the US for analysis, and Gene received a $2,500 bonus, and later the Intelligence Medal of Merit. As a part time CIA employee, Jan received $74.50 after taxes for her role in one of the most secretive missions of the Cold War. For episode 264 of the Spycraft 101 podcast I spoke to Gene about his three careers as a CIA operations officer, college professor, and author. The episode is available now. #coldwar #russia #moscow #cia #operation
