Spy radio found during archaeological dig

A 30-year-old Soviet spy radio has been found by archaeologists in a site
cleared for a new lignite mine about 30 km west of Köln in Germany

Live Science reports:

The spy radio was buried inside a large metal box that was hermetically
sealed with a rubber ring and metal screws. Although the radio's batteries
had run down after almost 30 years in the ground, the box hissed with
inrushing air when it was opened.

The radio has been identified as a model R-394KM transmitter and receiver —
code-named "Strizh," meaning "Swift" — that was manufactured in the Soviet
Union in 1987. It was carried by agents into Western Europe shortly after
that, and only a few years before the fall between 1989 and 1991 of the
"Iron Curtain" of communism that divided Eastern and Western Europe.

The high-frequency or shortwave radio was capable of transmitting and
receiving messages as far as 1,200 km — far enough to reach Warsaw in
Poland, which was then part of the Soviet bloc.
