"Soviet Missions" refer to various initiatives undertaken by the Soviet Union during the Cold War to promote its political, military, and ideological interests globally. These missions often involved supporting communist movements, providing military aid, and establishing diplomatic relations with countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Additionally, Soviet Missions included space exploration efforts, such as the Vostok and Soyuz programs, which aimed to demonstrate technological superiority. The KGB also played a role in intelligence gathering and covert operations to influence foreign governments and counter Western influence, particularly from the United States.
