The Bluebeard Project

The Bluebeard Project was a covert U.S. government program during the Cold War, aimed at spying on the Soviet Union by secretly installing microphones and listening devices in Soviet diplomatic buildings and embassies. The goal was to gather intelligence on Soviet activities and communications. It involved complex technical operations and was part of broader efforts to monitor foreign governments. The program highlighted the advanced and secretive nature of espionage during that era, and its exposure raised concerns about privacy and international diplomacy.
