>I wonder why there don't seem to be leaks like these at other superpowers' intelligence/security organizations, like China's and Russia's? 1. Leaks have happened in Russia, for example the KGB archives that Mitrokhin stole [0]. 2. Somewhere above 845,000 people have TOP SECRET clearances in the US intelligence community[1]. I can't find size of the Russia and Chinese intelligence community but I would guess it is an order of magnitude smaller. 3. Privacy is not viewed with the same level of importance in Russia or China. The US and European intelligence communities are tasked with a mission which directly contradicts the core culture values of those societies. Additionally the US and EU countries have large non-state controlled media outlets allowing someone to blow the whistle. 4. Because of the Pentagon papers all leakers/whistleblowers have an example of intelligence leaks being beneficial and good for the country. Are there any similar role models in Russia or China that might motivate a whistleblower? 5. When the US captures intelligence from Russia or China the US generally does not leak it to make Russia or China look bad. Russia, and before that the Soviet Union, have been using espionage to make the US look bad for have 60 years.
