Intuition's Hints

Continuation of the story about service in external military strategic intelligence—how, together with experience, a “sixth sense”—intuition—comes to a spy who works illegally. How important is it? Should you listen to it? You’ll draw your own conclusions about whether external military intelligence contains “bad-handed,” “dumb-headed” people—fraidy-cats and loafers. And if they do exist and somehow managed to slip into external intelligence, what does it lead to—or could it lead to?

Here’s another text—a literary example of impressionism, where everything is compressed and to the point (at least, in my opinion). Representatives of this direction sought to use methods and techniques that allowed them to capture the real world as naturally and vividly as possible in its movement and change, and to convey their realistic impressions of that moment. That’s why you won’t find descriptions of nature, weather, and other delights here unless it’s needed for the point. And yet, it is fiction based on real events.
