The claim that the KGB attempted to blackmail Indonesian President Sukarno with videotapes showing him engaged in sexual activities with Russian women posing as flight attendants is supported by multiple sources. According to an article on Spyscape, the KGB did indeed try to blackmail Sukarno by filming him with Russian women disguised as flight attendants, but Sukarno asked for copies of the tapes instead of being embarrassed. This account is corroborated by a Medium article, which details how the KGB misjudged Sukarno's reaction due to his well-known promiscuity and open support for polygamy. Sukarno's reaction to the blackmail attempt was one of amusement rather than dismay, and he reportedly requested extra copies of the tapes. These sources provide a consistent narrative that supports the claim made in the tweet Spyscape, Medium.
