I know - the russians was rather found about looking for gears and information, when they had the chance to look closer up on western tech - but to be honest, so was the West, when it come to russian gear and information to..

I will try to find that book, as the cold war is a interesting part of our history - I'm born in the very late stages of the cold war (1976) so I have not really experienced what it was about - even thought I do remember some of what happened in the 1980s - and specially the end of he cold war - the end of the berlin wall - and the end of the USSR.. But many of the details, I have learned of by reading about it, in later ages.. And some from my parents who was very interested in many things over the years .. I was also lucky enough to live in a household where it was a lot of books from different ages - so I guess it comes from there too.
