In both the novel and its film adaptation, the machine is used as bait for Bond, whom the antagonists ( SMERSH in the novel, SPECTRE in the film) wish to humiliate and kill.

Inside it contained small buttons, a coded data strip was inserted into a slot, and out of another slot came the decoded message on a strip of paper.Īn offer of the machine was received by MI6 in London, ostensibly from Soviet cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova, and contained the condition that Bond was to collect her and the machine in Istanbul. The unit is described as roughly the same size as a typewriter and was in a brown leather case. The central plot device of From Russia with Love, the Lektor/Spektor was a highly sought-after decoding machine, used by Soviet Intelligence to de-compile coded and highly sensitive documents.
