Brown, I&NS 19.1, notes that the author believes that U.S. Forces, Austria (USFA) "misused intelligence to bolster the case for viewing the Soviet Union as a threat to American interests in Austria." However, in the end, the author does not supply satisfactory support for his assertion.

From Abstract: Focusing mainly on local-level administrative documents of the Duchy of Styria, the author "argues that the Austro-Hungarian General Staff intensified its intelligence activities at least [after] the Annexation Crisis of 1908.... [T]he General Staff not only targeted alleged Serb efforts to undermine the Monarchy from within but also kept a[] close eye on Italian citizens on its territory."

A German man identified only as Werner G., "charged with selling sensitive technology information to Russia[,] is a key figure in a mysterious spy case involving a former Federal Space Agency official that jarred Russian-Austrian relations last year.... [I]nterviews with officials familiar with the case made it clear that the Russian intelligence officer referred to by German prosecutors is ... Vladimir Vozhzhov, who was arrested on spy charges in Austria last year and released after it turned out he had diplomatic immunity."
