Many people are familiar with the FBI’s COINTELPRO, does anyone know if the USSR, UK and other countries had similar programs? And what were the techniques and strategies of dealing with their own dissident groups?

Any recommendations on books, articles, or documentaries about how governments (ie law enforcement, intelligence, etc) have dealt with revolutionary, dissident and militant groups? Or how those groups responded to repression? Specifically what were the various tactics and strategies used to infiltrate, disband, sow distrust, and create criminal cases against specific members of those groups?
