This is probably my favorite (not strictly tech) news of the year!
It is brilliant and thrilling to read from start to finish.
I never read before about this story of the two NSA analysts defecting to the USSR during the Cold War and 'whistleblowed' from Moscow many of the agency's secrets in a similar manner as Snowden's - after being unable to do so domestically.
This article is a great and sad reminder of the famous quote “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.
