According to declassified documents from the archives of the German Democratic Republic's political police, the Cuban Counterintelligence Directorate investigated the training of double agents and the refinement of operational games (operativnye igry) in 1989.
In March 1989, Lieutenant Colonel José Manuel Pérez Cernada of the Ministry of the Interior requested the support of the Stasi Counterintelligence Department. He wanted to obtain information on confessions from former CIA officers and agents discovered by the security agencies of socialist countries as soon as possible.
Pérez Cernada also requested information on the system of measures applied by the CIA in vetting agents of the security services of socialist countries involved in operational games.
Pérez Cernada requested examples of closed cases and operational criteria on the fundamental differences in the behavior of CIA vetting agents who reside permanently abroad versus those who travel abroad and contact the US special service.
He also wanted information on the training of operational game agents to evade enemy vetting.
