| Summary/Abstract |
The Battle of Kursk occupies a special place in the history of the Second World War. It is unique not only for its enormous influence on the victory of the Soviet Union and the entire anti-Hitler coalition over Nazi Germany, but also for the three-month ‘quiet’ period during which the opposing sides prepared for it. In the opinion of many historians, Soviet intelligence at this time played a most important role in the planning of combat operations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The role of Soviet and Cuban covert activities in Allende’s Chile has not been given sufficient consideration. This paper outlines the significant actions that the KGB and the Cuban DGI undertook there, showing that both organizations played important roles in both operating directly against the CIA and by supporting local actors. The results of their efforts, however, may have been negative to Allende’s coalition by focusing on factional or ideological interests. A broad array of sources is brought together to shed light on this historical gap. The result is a new paradigm in which we can consider this dramatic period.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article assesses a claim by Khrushchev that warnings from the Soviet intelligence services enabled to him to deter a Turkish invasion of Syria in 1957. The article shows that the United States and Turkey did aim to overthrow the Syrian government, with the Turks massing an invasion force on Syria’s border. Soviet intelligence detected this threat and was able to alert Khrushchev, who took diplomatic and military countermeasures. However, while the Soviet intelligence services did provide advance warning, Khrushchev overestimated the extent to which the United States was committed to a Turkish invasion.

| Summary/Abstract |
The drama of the National Front in Iran in 1951–53 occupies an important place in international history. Although Iran never was a colony, its struggle against the United Kingdom for control of oil had a radical impact on the process of decolonization in the Eastern hemisphere. It was also in Iran where anti-colonial passions intersected with the Cold War and the agenda of three great powers: the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Last, but not least, the U.S.-British collaboration and joint overthrow of the Iranian nationalist leader Dr. Muhammed Mosaddeq in August 1953 set a model for Western approaches to radical nationalism in the Third World for at least two decades to follow.
