The Moscow Rules Shirt

The Moscow rules are rules-of-thumb said to have been developed during the Cold War to be used by spies and others working in Moscow.
The rules are associated with Moscow because the city developed a reputation as being a particularly harsh locale for clandestine operatives who were exposed.

Although no one had written them down, they were the precepts that were understood for conducting operations in the most difficult of operating environments: the Soviet capital. By the time agents got to Moscow,they all knew these rules. They were dead simple and full of common sense.

Assume nothing.
Never go against your gut.
Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
Do not look back; you are never completely alone.
Go with the flow, blend in.
Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.
Lull them into a sense of complacency.
Do not harass the opposition.
Pick the time and place for action.
Keep your options open.
