Abstract:
Intelligence analysis is inextricably linked to the CIA, where it was established
and developed as a specific professional activity. Based on a short-lived experience,
accumulated during World War II, the CIA’s first analytical structure, the Office of Reports
and Estimates (ORE), faced the difficulty of producing intelligence products on the new
security environment of the early Cold War period, with the focus on the threat posed by
the USSR.
Keywords: CIA, Cold War, Communism, intelligence analysis, Soviet Russia.
