A number of officers, mainly wartime, were also named in Philby’s book ‘My Silent War’ and in the various biographies written following his defection. (WYNNE TRIAL) […]
[…] who its supporters are. You find the potential terrorists by offering them a terrorist organisation to join. (Lee Harvey Oswald was probably doing something similar for the FBI in New Orleans with his one-man Fair Play for Cuba Committee.) Or informants, paid by results, elaborate, expand and exaggerate their activities. (Bits of all of […]

[…] UN in New York from 1962 to 1977’ (p609). Chuchukin is named as a KGB disinformation officer in Barron’s previous book The KGB (1974) (p212).
