Wasn't there a high level Soviet agent that "defected' only to return to the USSR? I seem to recall it happening in the 80's.

IIRC there was Chinese scientist who developed WMD in the US and then went back to his commie homeland to build weapons.

I remember that ridiculous press conference where he insisted on speaking in Russian because he had been forced to use English while "in captivity" of the CIA.
