Obviously, it was NKVD. That organization simply morphed into the KBG.

Problem? Nyet!

CA....

But you know the way these swine work. They’ll jump on that and say that “the author claims that Stone was an agent of the KGB at a time when the KGB did not exist!” The story then, for them, is “full of errors” which allows them to say that the various proofs that Stone was a Soviet agent “have been debunked”.

This is exactly what they did with Alger Hiss. I still remember watching in jaw dropping amazement a late 90s ABC newscast where Peter Jennings eagerly told his audience that “a thorough check of the KGB archives revealed no evidence that Alger Hiss had been a Soviet agent”. Period, next story. Anyone watching without knowledge if the truth would have come away with the impression that Hiss had been completely exonerated from the charge of being a Soviet agent. (the truth was of course that Hiss was never an agent the KGB or any of its predecessor agencies—he was an agent of the GRU, Soviet military intelligence, and there is ample documentary evidence if this).

For us, the truth is not enough. We have to dot every i and cross every t.
