You never retire from GRU.
There is a quite interesting autobiographical book, Inside the Aquarium: The Making of a Top Soviet Spy, written by Viktor Suvorov, a GRU officer who defected in the '80s. If you have a chance, read it.
One reviewer wrote:
>In the opening pages of "Inside the Aquarium" the narrator, ex-Soviet agent Viktor Suvorov, describes his first memory as a member of Soviet Military Intelligence: watching a film of an execution of a would-be defector. The officer in question was strapped into a coffin with an open lid, elevated slightly so he could see what was coming, and then traversed slowly down a conveyor belt into a blast furnace, screaming all the way.
