Besides the necessary addi- tions, several important changes have been made to accommodate new data that has appeared after the opening of various archives, especially in former Soviet satellite countries such as the Baltic States, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Bulgaria, among others. Other major changes include the elimination of all references to fictional characters and operations that were part of the original edition to include the many facts that have surfaced in the intervening years. The chronology has been updated to the end of 2008 and the editors shall continue to update new data for future editions. Major revelations will no doubt continue to surface, requiring revisions and changes to the history of Cold War espionage as archives are opened and are made accessible to researchers and historians. The evolution of international politics since the start of the 21st century and the fluctuations in relations between the traditional Cold War rivals as they adjust to the rapidly changing international landscape remain a major factor in international rela- tions and therefore greatly affect espionage activities. In 1991, when enthusiasm and hope welcomed the termination of the Soviet system in Russia that had ruled since 1917, it was widely believed that the traditional business of spying would also be discarded because of the good will that suddenly characterized relations between the old rivals and the many gestures of genuine friendship between East and West. Those illusions were progressively dashed by many factors, and specifically regional and economic conflicts, that forced the traditional adversaries to take sides once again. Starting with the breakup of Yugoslavia, when a major geopolitical regional disagreement affected relations between the new Russia and NATO members, and through a number of disputes that remained localized, the old traditional rivalries seemd to float back to the surface.
