Abstract

When Yuri Andropov offered to divulge how the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) foiled an important Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation, Julian Semyonov (“Lubyanka’s nightingale”) jumped at the chance to write a spy thriller based on real people and events. TASS is Authorized to Announce … (1979) is a fictional version of a CIA operation involving Soviet diplomat Aleksandr Ogorodnik (a.k.a. TRIGON). The novel confirms Director of Central Intelligence Stansfield Turner’s suspicion that Ogorodnik was a KGB dangle whose rumored suicide was false. It also foreshadowed the KGB’s bogus claim that the CIA was an accessory to Ogorodnik’s murder of his mistress. Andropov sponsored the work of fiction as a subtle way of revealing clues that he had outfoxed the Agency.

摘要

当尤里·安德罗波夫提出要透露 Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) 如何挫败中央情报局 (CIA) 的一项重要行动时，Julian Semyonov（“卢比扬卡的夜莺”）抓住机会根据真实人物和事件编写间谍惊悚片。TASS 被授权宣布……（1979 年）是中央情报局行动的虚构版本，涉及苏联外交官 Aleksandr Ogorodnik（又名 TRIGON）。这部小说证实了中央情报局局长斯坦斯菲尔德·特纳 (Stansfield Turner) 的怀疑，即 Ogorodnik 是克格勃的一个悬而未决的人，他的自杀传闻是假的。它还预示了克格勃的虚假声称，即中央情报局是奥戈罗德尼克谋杀情妇的从犯。安德罗波夫赞助这部小说作品，以此作为揭示他欺骗机构的线索的一种微妙方式。
