Aspects of Conspiration in the Field of Collection of Information from Human Source in the Period of State Security

Abstract

The study looks back to the period of the operation of the domestic state security and examines the phenomenon of “conspiracy” along the HUMINT and its appearance in the regulations. The understanding of state security organs’ secret operation has become possible after 1990, among other things by the disclosure of the standards governing the activities. “Conspiracy” was common to the whole system; through the written regulations, it was incorporated into the daily work.
