This is an English translation of a Soviet intelligence training document classified Top Secret in 1970, covering the objectives and methods of KGB reconnaissance work abroad. It sets out how Soviet intelligence assessed foreign political parties, economic forces, government figures and groups it could lean on, with the original Russian title given alongside. The book adds publisher commentary around the translated text. It suits readers of intelligence history and Cold War primary sources rather than anyone wanting a narrative account, and it stands apart from memoir-style spy books because the content is the doctrine itself.

This is an English translation of a Soviet intelligence manual originally titled "Основные направления и объекты разведывательной работы за границей." The Soviet Union classified it Top Secret in 1970. It was only recently published in the West, in Russian.
The manual covers what intelligence agencies should collect about target capitalist countries. Topics include the strength of a country's political position and the social and economic forces it relies on. They also include the backstage activities of political parties, political groups, and members of government and prominent political figures.
The book includes original commentary, which is copyright material. The underlying government documents are in the public domain.
