The author strongly hints at who these contacts were, but ultimately declines to identify them. In the book credits, he makes the excuse that he was unable to get their permission.
You know permission isn't necessary if you are disclosing facts, so I have to wonder if he feels a moral obligation to keep silent for some reason such as, perhaps, they helped him get out of Russia shortly after the Soviet Union collapsed and resettle in the United States.
What's your theory?
A subsequent former KGB author who penned his book about 10 years later has a theory posted at the link. I have not read his book so am unable to comment on the veracity.
The only thing I can say is that if you made a list of journalists based in Washington with pro-Soviet sympathies and those without, the former list would be much longer and, thus, would be a good place for a KGB contact to hide.
Has Clinton’d old advisor Sandy Berger been seen anywhere near these offices?

Sounds like some of the less than professional hires common to this thuggish administration. The ‘thieves’ photgraph data but are so amateurish that they steal items out in the oipen in offices. When they broke into Trey Gowdy’s office they revealed for whom they work, IMHO. Eric ‘Just Us’ Holder needs something, anything, to blackmail Gowdy into backing off. I hate these obamanoid thugs and the fraud train affirmative action sonofabitch they rode in on. Come NOvember, We The People must boot the bastards out, because it’s a sure thing the feckless Republican Congress won’t do it. They have too many ‘skeletons’ in their own closets. These ‘thieves’ were looking for ‘skeletons’.
Take nothing but... Pictures!

It sounds like a good read. The cold war era shouldn't be forgotten. We're now paying for having won the war but, IMO, losing the peace.
The book is also very revealing about how the Washington Press corps moves seamlessly between the world of media and government jobs, especially but not necessarily exclusively, in Democrat administrations.
TASS (the Soviet news agency) was, of course, very cooperative in providing cover for KGB agents, like this author. But even TASS had the temerity to criticize Soviet officialdom every once in a while to put on a good show-- something we seldom see with the Obama press.
Note that only Republicans were burglarized, and staffer computers were stolen.
Eric Holder. Barack Obama. Very simple, actually.
