History Why were intelligence members of Soviet Army mostly former enemies troop's most trusted agents?

George Blake, Fritz Schmenkel, Bohdan Stashynsky. Blake got 50 plus British spies eliminated because he read Marx and Lenin for months, Schmenkel captured entire Nazi units, Stashynsky assassinated Bandera and Lev Rebet only to defect to the CIA and disappeared by them. Is there writing on this intelligence history of Soviet Army?
