WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE THE KGB AFTER YOU. The Guardian article on zersetzung linked to this memoir in the Guardian (September 23, 2011) by Luke Harding, which is excerpted from his book MAFIA STATE. Harding was a journalist for the Guardian, stationed in Russia, whom the KGB became displeased with. Harding lists some of the things that happened to him during some of the numerous breakins while he was in Moscow:
*window opened
*all batteries removed from alarm system
*central heating disconnected (in December)
*screen saver of family deleted from office computer
The excerpt concludes with Harding back in the UK, nervously checking the deadbolts on his door and the windows in his flat every time he returns home.
