+{{::fmj6i7vuuaa8dt0.png?200 |}}
+While a student at [[Harvard University]] the 1980's, Freeland participated in a university exchange program that brought her to live in [[Ukraine:Kiev]], [[Ukraine]] for a time.((Bilefsky, D. (2022, February 25). //A Canadian leader with Ukrainian roots puts Putin in the ranks of “reviled European dictators.”// The New York Times. https://archive.ph/6Svfk)) While there, she was involved in 1988 and 1989 in the Ukrainian independence movement, and was tailed by the [[KGB]]. She was given the codename "Frida", and described as a "well-known troublemaker".((Retson, D. (1989, May 20). //Student “glasnost” chilly.// Edmonton Journal, 14. https://archive.ph/VCnMo/))
+Descriptions of Freeland's activities in [[Russia]] and Ukraine seem to indicate she was performing foreign intelligence duties. She allegedly evaded interception from the KGB by sending material out of Ukraine via a diplomatic pouch at the Canadian embassy in [[Russia:Moscow]]. “I am aware that my work with pro-democracy and environmental activists invoked the ire of the Soviet KGB. I remember being the target of smear campaigns in the Soviet press,” she told the [[Globe and Mail]] in October 2021.((Miles, S. (2021, October 11). //KGB archives show how Chrystia Freeland drew the ire (and respect) of Soviet intelligence services.// The Globe and Mail. https://archive.ph/VnGts))
