The Golytsin/Angleton partnership was a watershed era in American intelligence. They lost. The defector whom the KGB sent to convince the CIA they had nothing to do with Lee Harvey Oswald during his long sojourn in the Soviet Union, drove the mole-hunter Angleton mad. The question on whether or not to accept him as genuine split the intelligence community down the middle, a fracture that never really healed.
Although subsequent events were to prove that Angleton's suspicions were well-founded, the only one to emerge from the fray with reputation at least somewhat intact was Golytsin. I believe he went to live in England. (alive today??) His predictions were quite uncanny in their accuracy. (And very frightening.)
"I believe he went to live in England. (alive today??) "
I hadn't heard about that, but would make sense: British intelligence is probably the best in the Free World in my opinion (leaving out the middle east from consideration, where the Mossad would be preeminent). In conversing about Golitsyn on Strategy Page, the (pretty knowlegeable) person I was talking to made a reference that indicated Golitsyn has passed on.
