When the KGB tried to blackmail Indonesian President Achmed Sukarno with videotapes of the president having sex with Russian women disguised as flight attendants



When the KGB tried to blackmail Indonesian President Achmed Sukarno with videotapes of the president having sex with Russian women disguised as flight attendants, Sukarno wasn't upset. He was pleased. He even asked for more copies of the video to show back in his country.

The KGB’s attempt to blackmail Sukarno was not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern of using compromising material, or “kompromat,” to manipulate individuals. The KGB had a long history of leveraging compromising photos, videos, and intelligence to its advantage. This tactic extended beyond foreign leaders to businessmen, journalists, and others who could be influenced to support Soviet policies.


Sukarno, born Koesno Sosrodihardjo, was a charismatic leader known for his oratory skills. He led the Indonesian independence movement and served as Indonesia’s first president from 1949 to 1966. During his presidency, he replaced the country’s original parliamentary system with an authoritarian “Guided Democracy.” Sukarno was not only a political leader but also a symbol of resistance and national pride for many Indonesians.

The KGB, or the Committee for State Security, was the main security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 until 1991.



Its main functions included foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, operative-investigative activities, guarding the state border of the USSR, protecting the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Soviet Government, organizing and securing government communications, as well as combating nationalist, dissident, religious, and anti-Soviet activities. The KGB had a significant impact on the course of the Cold War and continues to influence international relations today.



Before starting the blackmail, KGB invited Sukarno in a small private movie theatre and showed him the pornographic video, in which he was playing the main part. KGB agents were expecting him to get really frightened, that he would agree to cooperate with them at once, but everything happened vice versa: Sukarno fondly decided that it was a gift from the Soviet government, so he asked for more copies to take them back to Indonesia and show them in movie theatres. Sukarno said to flabbergasted agents that the people of Indonesia would be very proud of him, if they could see him doing the nasty with Russian girls

A U.S. marine gives a cigarette to an injured Japanese soldier, buried in the sand at the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Equipped with a grenade, the soldier lay in ambush for 36 hours. Marines spotted him concealed in the dark sand and managed to dislodge the grenade out of his reach. Although he surrendered, the cautious Marines suspected potential booby traps and approached carefully. At his request, he was given a cigarette, and thereafter, they cautiously removed him from the shell hole. The 3rd and 4th Marine Divisions broke up the remaining organized resistance on March 16, 1945, the same day this photo was taken.
