	Aquarium	comment	Aquarium is a 1985 book, Based on a True Story, by Viktor Suvorov, the pen name of Vladimir Rezun, a former GRU officer, who defected to the West in 1978. The book describes his life - with certain details changed, naturally - until he fled to the West.The young Senior Lieutenant Suvorov, during an exercise, is noticed by the ascending Lieutenant Colonel Kravtsov, assigned to command the intel department of the army's staff. Kravtsov takes him to work under his command. After some time (during which he received some basic training with the Spetsnaz), he is noticed again - by the GRU. He is brought to the organization. The titular Aquarium is the glass walled headquarters of the GRU - and the first rule is "whatever is said inside, stays inside". After several years of training, he is sent to work abroad. Eventually, he gets into considerable favor. However, during an important mission, he hesitates to film something that would mean the downfall of his friend. Afraid of the repercussions, he flees to Britain.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Aquarium was first published in Britain, then published in America under the title Inside the Aquarium: The Making of a Top Soviet Spy. A feature film and a 4-part TV series based on this book were made by a Polish-Ukrainian-German team in the late 1990s.

	Aquarium / int_d4f5426	comment	Absence of Evidence: at one point, a superior asks Suvorov whether he knows what a certain section of the intelligence department is dealing with. Turns out he does - since he never received any data from them, the obvious conclusion is that these are units which only operate during the war. Combined with the available data about the section's officers, who are all very tall, that means these are recon and sabotage units. Well, the proper name for them is Spetsnaz, but of course that cannot be obtained by deduction.
